On the brink of a group-stage exit, Tunisia were all heart as they held on to striker Wahbi Khazri’s opening goal for a momentous win.
He is the most prominent Tunisian player in Europe, although he played most of his career at clubs in France.
The French-born forward is second in Tunisia’s list of all-time leading scorers, having scored 24 goals in 71 internationals since making his debut in 2013.
