The first match on day 7 in the FIFA World Cup 2022 will see Tunisia taking on Australia in group D.

On the other hand, Australia, who opened the scoring during an exciting early passage of play against France in their World Cup opener, conceded four goals in total, thus going down to the defending champions in a disappointing loss.
