Sweden Hammer Tunisia 5-1 in 2026 World Cup Opener
Tunisia’s World Cup campaign got off to a nightmare start as Sweden ran riot in their Group F opener. Yasin Ayari broke the deadlock after just ten minutes before Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres added further goals to give the Swedes a 3-0 lead. Tunisia pulled one back through Omar Rekik on the stroke of half-time after a pinpoint cross from Hannibal Mejbri. But the Carthage Eagles never recovered as Isak set up Gyokeres for a fourth and Ayari grabbed his second with a stunning long-range strike in injury time. With this 5-1 defeat, Tunisia join South Africa as the only African sides to lose their opening match at the 2026 World Cup.
