Tunisia earn themselves a win
In the final group stage game of the entire 2018 World Cup, Tunisia come out a head over Panama. Neither team had points before the match and the African side come away with all three points from the game. They were simply the better team this game and deserved the win. Though it may not have been the most clean or skilled game of the tournament, Tunisia will still be happy with the result. Despite not winning any points, Panama fans will still be happy because the team made its' first ever World Cup and scored two goals. It is an important moment for the country and they will still be celebrating when the team returns home.

58'
Tunisia causing trouble
Since scoring the equalizer, Tunisia have continued to press and threaten another goal. They are controlling the ball in their offensive half.

45'
Panama lead
Despite looking like the better team for most of the half, Tunisia finds themselves down 0-1 as they head into the locker room. Panama took full advantage of their few attacking opportunities to grab a goal off of a deflection by Yassine Meriah. Tunisia just needs to keep doing what they are doing but find that extra quality to get the ball into the net. Panama will most likely sit back like they have done and look for chances on the counter.
45'
Half-time whistled
An own goal by Tunisia is the only thing separating these two sides at the half.
45'
Great opportunity for Tunisia
Right as the injury time is announced, Tunisia construct a great attacking play. Wahbi Khazri shot is narrowly blocked by a Panama defender and the ball bounces in the penalty area. Jaime Penedo pushes the ball out of the danger area before a Tunisia player can take advantage of the loose ball.

Tunisia so close

29'
Panama sits back
Panama's gameplan has been obvious since the start of this game. It is the same one they have had this entire tournament. They sit back deep and look to defend. They will take their chance on the counter-attck. Tunisia is looking to break through that deep defense with long balls over the top from Ferjani Sassi.
24'
Sloppy game
The game has been incredibly sloppy with both teams playing errant passes and poor touches. There are frequent giveaways where the other team is able to start an attack but they eventually give it away. Tunisia has had the better chances thus far.
19'
Tunisia corner
Wahbi Khazri swings the ball in from the right corner and he finds himself with the ball as it gets headed to him. His second cross is much better and the ball finds its' way to the head of Rami Bedoui. His header is on-target and Jaime Penedo is forced into a sliding save to keep the ball out.
16'
Tunisia threaten
An excellent long ball finds its' way to Wahbi Khazri who times his run well to stay onside. The attack breaks down as Fakhreddine Ben Youssef has his shot blocked and the ball goes far from the penalty area.
12'
Tunisian corner
Tunisia has been the better team so far this game. Wahbi Khazri wins a corner for his team. The ball is played out towards midfield and the cross from that area reaches no Tunisia player and gets cleared away.
10'
Sliti misses again
Ferjani Sassi launches a great long ball from his own half to Wahbi Khazri who is in front of the Panama penalty area. Wahbi Khazri's first touch puts the ball to the rushing Naim Sliti. Sliti takes his shot but it goes well over the crossbar and out.
7'
Sliti tries his luck
Tunisia bring the ball into the penalty area once again. The ball gets deflected up into the air and the ball drifts in the air to Naim Sliti. He attempts an athletic bicycle kick but takes his shot across the face of goal and wide of the post.
6'
Tunisia chance
Naim Sliti works the ball down the left side and cuts the ball to fake out Adolfo Machado. He puts in the cross to Fakhreddine Ben Youssef but his shot is clunky and it bounces off both him and a Panama defender. Jaime Penedo collects the ball in the box.
6'
Wasted opportunity
The freekick from Wahbi Khazri goes well over any heads of the Tunisian players and presents no danger to the Panama defense.
5'
Khazri wins a freekick
Wahbi Khazri gets fouled in the Panama half off the right side of the penalty area. He stands over the freekick to take it.

Group G - Matchday 3 - Panama vs Tunisia
Tunisia and Panama have nothing to play for besides their pride. Both teams are knocked out of the tournament after two losses for each. Panama are competing in their first ever World Cup and fresh off scoring their first World Cup goal, they will be looking for their first points in the World Cup against the African side. Panama have not looked good this tournament but have one final chance to put on a good game for their fans that traveled all the way to Russia. Hernan Gomez has made a formation change along with personnel changes from the team that fell 1-6 to England. Starters Murillo and Cooper are suspended for this game due to consecutive yellow cards and number 10 Diaz will miss the game due to injury. Adolfo Machado, Luis Ovalle, Gabriel Torres, and Ricardo Avilla get the start in a 4-6-1 formation.<br> Tunisia are in a tight spot since injuries have ravaged the squad and leaves them with only one goalkeeper. Tunisia performed well against England though they struggled against Belgium. The team may struggle against Panama because of all the injuries. Defenders Syam Ben Youssef and Dylan Bronn are out injured and goalkeepers Mouez Hassen and Farouk Ben Mustapha are out. Captain Aymen Mathlouthi is forced into the starting line-up without any game time previously. Naim Sliti, Ghaylen Chaaleli, Rami Bedoui, and Oussama Haddadi come into the squad after not starting last game. The team will line-up in a 4-3-3 formation, same as they did against Belgium. With their backs up against the wall, Tunisia will find it tough to get a result. A tie or win would give Tunisia their first points of the tournament as well.
