Khazri strike ends Tunisia's 40-year World Cup victory drought

Tunisia equalized six minutes after the restart when Sliti set up Khazri on the right before the Rennes forward pulled the ball back to Ben Youssef, who stabbed a shot into the left corner.

Ben Youssef should have scored again two minutes later but sent a shot straight at Penedo when he had only the goalkeeper to beat.

Panama were under sustained attack and there was a sense of inevitability about the goal that put them behind in the 66th minute.

Oussama Haddadi began the move with a slide-rule pass from the left and Khazri was perfectly positioned at the far post to fire in his 14th international goal.
