Netherlands dominated Tunisia 3-1 in a World Cup Group F encounter, controlling proceedings through superior possession and shot volume. The Dutch commanded 71 per cent possession and created significantly more chances, registering 20 shots to Tunisia's 10, with 7 efforts on target compared to the hosts' 4. Netherlands' expected goals of 1.85 substantially outweighed Tunisia's 0.62, reflecting their dominance in a 4-3-3 setup that repeatedly breached a defensive 5-4-1 formation. Tunisia's goalkeeper faced 7 shots on target but could only save 57 per cent, conceding 2.22 post-shot expected goals, while Netherlands' keeper made crucial interventions with a 75 per cent save rate from just 4 shots faced. The result represents a comprehensive performance from Ronald Koeman's side, who moved decisively towards knockout qualification. Tunisia's defensive solidity ultimately proved insufficient against relentless Dutch attacking pressure.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
