After a disastrous match against Sweden, Tunisia underwent sweeping changes, including a new head coach. However, Hervé Renard, who took the helm, was unable to turn things around.

Under his leadership, Tunisia suffered a crushing defeat to Japan and lost all hope of progressing, joining Haiti and Turkey on the sidelines.

Notably, this clash marked the 1,000th match in World Cup history, and the Japanese made it a night to remember by securing their biggest-ever win at the tournament (4-0). This victory also set a new benchmark, becoming the largest win by any Asian team at a World Cup and establishing a continental record.
