FC Barcelona star, Raphinha and Tottenham's Richarlison were the tormentors-in-chief against the Tunisians, who finished the game with ten men following the dismissal of Serie A-based Dylan Brown.
Both players took turns to assist each other on the day, Raphinha netted a brace and an assist while the Spurs forward scored one and assisted two others.
PSG's Neymar was also on the scoresheet after he scored from a penalty while Flamengo's Pedro came off the bench to complete the job.
For Tunisia, Monatassar Talbi made the Eagles of Carthage dream when he cancelled out Raphinha's 11th opener seven minutes later. But it turned out to be a consolation in the end.
