TUNIS (Reuters) - A fortunate own goal handed Tunisia a 1-0 victory over Iran in their friendly clash on a waterlogged pitch in Tunis on Friday, in what was a morale boosting result for the World Cup-bound north Africans.
Wahbi Khazri proved the talisman for the home side and it was his dribbling run that led to the 71st minute winner. Khazri's shot was parried by Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand into the path of defender Milad Mohammadi, who could only turn the ball into his own net.
