SARANSK, Russia - Wahbi Khazri struck a second-half winner as Tunisia secured their first World Cup victory in 40 years by overcoming Panama 2-1 on Thursday.
Yassine Meriah gifted Panama the lead by turning the ball into his own net before Fakhreddine Ben Youssef equalized just after halftime. Khazri completed the turnaround just after the hour mark with his second goal of the tournament.
The North African side's last victory in football's flagship event was a 3-1 defeat of Mexico in Argentina in 1978.
