2018 WORLD CUP: Panama lose again as Tunisia end campaign on a winning note
SARANSK: A second-half strike from Sunderland’s Wahbi Khazri ensured Tunisia ended their World Cup Group G campaign with a victory in Group H by 2-1 over newcomers Panama – who finished bottom.
The north African side, who had 14 chances, fell a goal behind when Jose Luis Rodriguez’s effort deflected in off Yassine Meriah. Fakhreddine Ben Youssef equalised when he tapped home Khazri’s low ball.
The provider then grabbed his second goal of the tournament when he fired home Oussama Haddadi’s cross. That provided Tunisia with their first victory in the finals since 1978.
