Sweden opened their World Cup campaign with a commanding 5-1 victory over Tunisia in Guadalupe. Yasin Ayari stole the show with two long-range strikes, while Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres demonstrated why they are among the world's elite forwards. Their chemistry proved decisive as they combined for multiple goals to dismantle the Tunisian defense.

Isak scored in the 40th minute after a layoff from Gyokeres, and the pair later swapped roles for Gyokeres' strike in the 59th minute. Tunisia briefly threatened a comeback through Omar Rekik's 43rd-minute header, but Sweden responded quickly. Mattias Svanberg added a fourth goal after a VAR review confirmed Isak's touch kept him onside.

Graham Potter's side now sits at the top of Group F because Japan fought the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw. This result gives Sweden an early advantage over their group rivals. The strike duo became only the second Swedish pairing to assist each other in a World Cup match during this dominant performance.

Potter praised his players' composure but noted there is still room for improvement. Sweden's clinical finishing and the synergy between Isak and Gyokeres provide a strong foundation for their remaining fixtures. This win establishes Sweden as a serious threat heading into matches against Japan and the Netherlands.
