Sweden routs Tunisia 5-1 in World Cup group match

Sweden’s national football team defeated Tunisia 5–1 in the early‑morning match of Group F at the World Cup. Yasin Ayari opened the scoring in the seventh minute and added a second late in the game, while Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres and Mattias Svanberg each contributed a goal. The win puts Sweden atop Group F, which also contains the Netherlands and Japan, and secures a favorable position ahead of the next group match against the Dutch side.

Tunisia’s lone goal came from Omar Rekik before halftime, but defensive errors allowed Sweden to extend the lead twice, including a decisive strike from Gyökeres after a quick counter‑attack. The decisive fifth goal came in added time when Ayari scored again, sealing a comprehensive victory for the Scandinavians.
