World Cup: Daily update from day 2 in Qatar

Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty as Poland and Mexico played out a goalless draw in Group C of the World Cup in Qatar.

Mexico dominated the first half but could not break the deadlock at Stadium 974, with Poland’s star striker Lewandowski cutting a frustrated figure.

But the Barcelona forward was handed a golden opportunity in the second half when he was fouled in the box, only to see his penalty saved by Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.

With Saudi Arabia stunning Argentina in the opening game, it leaves Group C wide open ahead of the second round of fixtures. Mexico will play Argentina next while Poland face Saudi Arabia.

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

45+4 mins: Great ball in by Eriksen but it’s an equally great header awayy by Tunisia’s Yassine Meriah.

And that should be that...

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

45+3 mins: Hojbjerg does well to win a foul just outside the box to the right.

Final chance for Denmark before the break...

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

45 mins: Denmark going to be forced into a substitution here!

Thomas Delaney has gone down in the centre of the pitch with an injury he sustained in a tackle...

He’s been replaced by Mikkel Damsgaard.

Here’s a rarity too - a normal amount of added time! Four minutes at the end of the first-half - and even that’s a lot for a first-half!

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

43 mins: What a save from Kasper Schmeichel!

Issam Jebali is played through - the Tunisia striker chips the Denmark keeper but the ex-Leicester man somehow gets a right-hand to the ball, tipping it wide!

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

42 mins: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg looks to beat Laidouni with a flip-flap before going over in the box... he wants a penalty but not enough in it for the referee.

Kieran Jackson22 November 2022 13:43

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

39 mins: The ball breaks to Tunisia’s Aïssa Laïdouni in the box from a corner but he can’t find the target - but boy did he get some power behind that shot!

Just over five to go until half-time... still level here.

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

34 mins: Ambitious effort from Hojbjerg from range - straight at the Tunisia keeper Aymen Dahmen who holds on comfortably.

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

31 mins: Pinpoint floated ball over the Tunisian defence by Kjaer - Olsen gets on the end of it but Tunisia’s Ali Abdi gets a foot in.

Tunisia eventually clear their lines from the corner...

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

27 mins: Wicked ball in from the left is inviting for Denmark striker Andreas Skov Olsen.. but the Club Brugge man can’t quite get there in time!

Denmark have found their feet in this game.

Kieran Jackson22 November 2022 13:29

Denmark 0-0 Tunisia

25 mins: Denmark’s Rasmus Kristensen in the book for a late tackle - bit harsh that.

The referee today, incidentally, is César Arturo Ramos Palazuelos from Mexico.
