Sweden launched their FIFA 2026 World Cup campaign in style with a commanding 5-1 victory over Tunisia in their Group F opener, as star forwards Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres both found the back of the net.
Graham Potter’s side took control early in Guadalupe and rarely looked back, producing an impressive attacking display to secure three valuable points and make an early statement in the tournament.
Ayari and Isak Put Sweden in Command
The Swedes opened the scoring in the seventh minute through Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari, whose thunderous strike from outside the penalty area punished a defensive mix-up in the Tunisian backline.
Despite the quality of the goal, Ayari’s celebrations were subdued, with the midfielder having Moroccan and Tunisian heritage.
