Tunisia won their first match at a World Cup for 40 years on Thursday, beating Panama 2-1 to leave Russia on a high. The African side fell behind to a 33rd-minute own goal from Yassine Meriah but battled back to score twice in the second half through Fakhreddine Ben Youssef and Wahbi Khazri.

Tunisia finished third in Group G behind Belgium and England. "Today's match was a well-deserved victory for the Tunisian side," said coach Nabil Maaloul. "When we landed in this group we knew that our best hope would be to come third.
