Khenissi scores as Tunisia win World Cup warm-up

PARIS: Tunisia striker Taha Yassine Khenissi continued his successful return to the team after a doping ban by scoring the only goal as the World Cup-bound north Africans beat the Comoros Islands 1-0 in Croissy-sur-Seine, France on Thursday.

Khenissi, 30, missed the Africa Cup of Nations finals in January because of a one-year ban, later commuted to six months, but strengthened his chances of a trip to Qatar in November as he headed home 10 minutes into the second half.

The match was played behind closed doors at the small venue in the Parisian suburbs.

Tunisia play Brazil in Paris on Tuesday in their second World Cup warm-up game.
