Alexander Isak, making a strong return from injury, was instrumental, scoring Sweden's second goal and assisting Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres for the third after capitalising on a defensive error. Despite Tunisia's impressive qualifying record without conceding a goal, they were behind within seven minutes when Ayari opened the scoring from outside the box. Tunisia briefly reduced the deficit before half-time through Omar Rekik's header, but Sweden re-established their control in the second half, with Gyokeres scoring after Isak dispossessed captain Ellyes Skhiri. Mattias Svanberg added a fourth goal, confirmed by VAR overturning an initial offside decision, and Ayari completed his brace in the closing seconds to seal Sweden's comprehensive win.
