Tunisia gifted the opener in the third minute and conceded again by the seventh, which is less a defensive lapse and more an unboxing video for the Netherlands. By the time the crowd settled in, the result was already in the rearview.

The Dutch did exactly what efficient teams do once they are two up early: they cruised, they managed, and they let the game breathe instead of chasing a highlight reel. Watchable, controlled, and never in doubt.

Mastouri's strike on 54 minutes was the one genuinely earned moment, a flicker of fight that van Hecke promptly extinguished eight minutes later. Drama arrived, said hello, and left before dessert.
