Sweden moved to the top of Group F at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by claiming a 5-1 win against Tunisia in Monterrey.
Yasin Ayari and Alexander Isak put the Blågult – led by former Brighton boss Graham Potter – into a seemingly comfortable lead within the opening 30 minutes, but Tunisia were able to clinch a goal back and bring the dynamic of the game into question just before the break thanks to Omar Rekik.
Having been teed up by Viktor Gyökeres in the first half, Isak returned the favour and selflessly played the ******* nal frontman through on goal with an hour played in Mexico.
And there was late VAR drama as Mattias Svanberg saw his goal disallowed by VAR for offside, before an in-depth review overturned the decision after spotting a slight touch from Isak had kept the 27-year-old onside.
Deep inside stoppage time, Ayari added his second – and Sweden’s fifth – to bolster the Blågult’s goal difference, which could prove decisive given the competitive nature of Group F.
