Sweden secured a convincing 5-1 victory over Tunisia in the second Group F match in Monterrey during the World Cup. The Scandinavians took the lead early in the game when Yasin Ayari scored in the 7th minute with an impressive long-distance shot. Alexander Isak doubled the advantage in the 30th minute, netting from a successful counter-attack. Tunisia managed to find a goal just before halftime through Omar Rekik, who headed home a cross, making it 2-1.
In the second half, Sweden maintained its dominant performance. Viktor Gyökeres re-established the wide gap in the 60th minute after being set up and finishing by Isak. Mattias Svanberg netted the next goal in the 84th minute; the referee accepted the goal after a video review determined that Svanberg was not offside. Ayari sealed the final scoreline in added time.
Although Tunisia attempted to maintain more ball possession throughout the match, they remained largely harmless and failed to seriously threaten the Swedish defense. Conversely, the side managed by Graham Potter displayed tactical variability and capitalized ruthlessly on counter-attacking opportunities. Sweden controlled the flow of the game for long periods, preventing the opposition from developing any significant momentum.
