AL RAYYAN, Qatar - Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand was left frustrated by his side's scoreless draw with Tunisia in World Cup Group D on Tuesday.

Tunisia's well-orchestrated rearguard defended in numbers and denied space to Denmark's attacking players, with a header off the post from Andreas Cornelius the closest they came to scoring.

"Obviously, we are not satisfied with this, particularly with a big part of the first half and the way we started, but it can be okay if you score at the end of the match," Hjulmand told reporters.

"You put on the pressure that you want and try to score, but unfortunately we did not ... it's not a matter of the system, it's more our ability to hold on to the ball. We play too slowly, and at times that was the problem."

The Danes face world champions France, a side they beat twice in the recent Nations League campaign, in their next game on Saturday.

"We definitely had an aim of winning this one because we know of course a result in this game could have helped us, and now it could be complicated," Hjulmand said.

"But it's not over and we are still in it, it's one point each and now we have two very great games, and we're looking forward to France."
