Tunisia secured their first FIFA World Cup win in 40 years as they came from behind to beat Panama 2-1 in their Group G closer on Friday morning (AEST).
The African side – who along with Panama had already been eliminated before their clash at the Mordovia Arena – last tasted victory at the 1978 tournament when they beat Mexico 3-1.
Before their second-half fightback, Panama had looked like sealing a maiden World Cup victory when Jose Luis Rodriguez's long-range strike was deflected in by Yassine Meriah for an unfortunate own goal after 33 minutes.
