Qatar 2022: Tunisia's Hannibal Mejbri Angrily Throws Ball at Mitchell Duke, Who Scored 50th Goal of World Cup

• The 2022 FIFA World Cup Group D match between Tunisia and Australia promised to be an absorbing encounter
• This expectation did not disappoint, with a flashpoint between Hannibal Mejbri hitting Mitchell Duke out of frustration with the ball being an example
• Duke had just scored the World Cup's landmark 50th goal just a few minutes earlier

Australia's Mitchell Duke and Tunisia's Hannibal Mejbri were the main story of the first half of the crucial 2022 FIFA World Cup Group D match.

The duo were involved in a tiff in what proved to be an exciting first half at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah. Mejbri, on the bench as a substitute, had angrily thrown the ball in Duke's direction after the latter had been fouled.

The ball hit Duke as he lay on the floor. He got up to go and confront the promising Manchester United youngster, who does have a reputation for 'possessing' a short fuse. Before matters got out of control, the referee stepped in, encouraging both players to shake hands.
