Sweden's five-star show leaves Tunisia stunned

Sweden's clinical finishing and well-organised defence proved too much for Tunisia in Monterrey, Mexico, on Sunday, as the Nordic side stormed to a 5-1 victory in their Group F encounter.

Yasin Ayari's early strike in the seventh minute after a scramble in the box set the tone for Sweden, where Tunisia goalkeeper Mouhib Chamakh fumbled a clearance. Chamakh was at fault again on the half-hour mark after he failed to get a strong enough hand on Alexander Isak's low drive.

Omar Rekik's header on the stroke of half time offered Tunisia hope, but that was extinguished when Isak dispossessed captain Ellyes Skhiri on the edge of his area and the ball fell invitingly for Viktor Gyokeres to rifle home Sweden's third.

Mattias Svanberg had the ball in the net for a fourth Sweden goal. The substitute had only been on the pitch for 12 seconds and was offside from the original ball in. However, after a VAR review, Isak was judged to have touched the ball, by which time Svanberg had got himself onside, and the goal stood.

Yasin Ayari struck again in stoppage time, powering a shot into the right corner to seal a 5-1 victory for Graham Potter's side.
