Isma\u00ebl Gharbi found himself in front of goal from point-blank range \u2014 one of those chances where the difficulty lies in missing rather than scoring \u2014 and fired it over the crossbar. Sixty seconds later, the Netherlands were ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Denzel Dumfries whipped a low cross into the danger area. Tunisia captain Ellyes Skhiri, under pressure, sliced his attempted clearance into his own net. Three minutes played. One-nil. There was nothing Skhiri could have done differently; he was simply the last man in the wrong place at the wrong moment.<\/p>\n<p>The second came before Tunisia had recovered from the first. Tijjani Reijnders swung a free-kick in from deep, Virgil van Dijk met it powerfully and flicked a header back across the face of the goal, and Brian Brobbey arrived at the far post to tap it home. His third goal of the tournament. Seven minutes played. Two-nil. The Kansas City Stadium \u2014 overwhelmingly Dutch in its colour and noise \u2014 erupted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Watch the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 knockout stage live on<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/myaccount\/subscription?plan-ref=0-11-7467&amp;asset-ref=0-6-4z5914493&amp;visibility=SELECTED&amp;context=FIFA\"><i> ZEE 5 FIFA Subscription<\/i><\/a><i>\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 from Rs. 799 for three months.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tunisia_Pulls_One_Back_Skhiri_Redeems_Himself\"><\/span><b>Tunisia Pulls One Back, Skhiri Redeems Himself<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The second half brought Tunisia back into the contest. Nine minutes in, Hannibal Mejbri delivered a corner to the near post and Hazem Mastouri \u2014 making his debut on this stage \u2014 powered a header past Bart Verbruggen. One-two. Momentum shifted. Tunisia had something to play for.<\/p>\n<p>In the 51st minute, Ellyes Skhiri provided his own answer to his own-goal misery. Dumfries broke into the box and had the goal at his mercy \u2014 and Skhiri threw himself across the line to clear it. A goal-line intervention of the highest order, exactly where he had failed in the 3rd minute.

Jan Paul van Hecke climbed highest at the near post and met the cross firmly, his header taking a slight deflection off Anis Ben Slimane on its way into the top corner. Three-one. Reijnders then came within inches of a personal highlight reel moment four minutes later, his delicate chipped effort from distance catching the top of the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p>In the 77th minute, Memphis Depay made his way off the bench \u2014 a signal that his thigh injury is healing, that he will be available for the knockout rounds, and that the Netherlands have an extra dimension coming. For now, three goals were enough.
