Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the World Cup Group G clash between Panama and Tunisia. Having lost their respective two matches, neither side can qualify for the last 16 - but pride is still very much still at stake. Panama are playing in their first ever World Cup and will be determined to pick up their first points, while Tunisia haven't won in the competition in over 30 years. It's clear then that both nations are desperate for some joy. Who will be smiling at full time?

End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME
And there is the full-time whistle, Tunisia record their first victory in 40 years!
90'+5
Mathlouthi saves from a Panama free-kick and then Tejada stands on the Tunisia goalkeeper's hands. He's in a bit of discomfort and Tejada goes into the book.
Only seconds left now...

90'+3
PANAMA CHANCE!
And this was probably their final chance! A lovely ball over the top finds Godoy, but he tries a first-time volley and gets it all wrong, firing high and wide. It wasn't an easy opportunity, to be fair.
90'+2
Chaalani goes into the book for a wild swing at Godoy.

90'+1
We are into the first of five additional minutes.
90'
Ovalle's devilish cross somehow evades two or three Panama players inside the penalty box - it was begging to be turned in. Anyway, the offside flag was up so it wouldn't have counted.
88'
Final change for Tunisia: Khazri makes way for Bassem Srarfi.

After a slow start, the game improved and it's actually been mildly entertaining. Probably better than England's match with Belgium, by the sounds of things.
85'
Tunisia have suffered nine losses and drawn four times since their last World Cup victory in 1978 - but they are just five minutes away from ending that embarrassing record, if they can hold on.
83'
Hernan Dario Gomez almost lets his frustration boils over as he has words with Naguez at the touch-line. The Panama manager is just about up to his chest, so he finally comes to his senses and the pair share a hug!
81'
Tunisia make their second change: Avila is replaced by Abdiel Arroyo.

Another booking! And another for a Panama player as Gomez is penalised for a foul on Chaaleli.
It's important Panama don't lose their discipline - there are still 10 minutes left and they only need one goal to claim their first ever World Cup point.

Avila is Panama's first player to be shown a yellow card. He has committed a few fouls this evening, but finally goes into the book for standing on the foot of Youssef.

Fifteen minutes remaining, but Tunisia's job is far from complete. There are just one or two signs that Panama aren't prepared to go down without a fight.
73'
GOAL DISALLOWED!
A lovely finish from Barcenas as he curls the shot into the top corner from 20 yards. It's ruled out though as Tejada is adjudged to have fouled Naguez in the build-up.
71'
YELLOW CARD! Badri is booked for a foul on Barcenas.

Panama can't capitalise on some sloppy defending as Rodriguez is allowed space for a shot but his effort is straight at Mathlouthi.
68'
Escobar leaves his foot in and Sliti goes down inside the box, prompting strong appeals from Tunisia for a penalty! The referee signals play on - the Panama defender got just enough on the ball.
66'
GOAAAAALLLLL! Panama 1-2 Tunisia
Lovely inter-link play from Haadadi and Badri as they exchange passes, before the former looks up and drills the ball across the face of goal to leave Khazri with a tap-in at the back post. It's his second goal of the World Cup.
Comeback complete!
