Mondial 2026 (Groupe F): La Tunisie corrigée par la Suède (5-1)
Tunisia had a very difficult start to their 2026 World Cup campaign. Facing an attractive Swedish team on the first day of Group F, the Eagles of Carthage suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 5-1.
The Scandinavians quickly took control of the match thanks to Ayari, who opened the scoring in the 7th minute. Dominating possession, Sweden then doubled their lead through Alexander Isak in the 30th minute.
The Tunisians, however, responded before the break. Omar Rekik reduced the deficit in the 43rd minute, giving his team momentary hope before heading back to the locker room.
But in the second half, Sweden resumed their forward momentum. Viktor Gyökeres scored Sweden's third goal in the 59th minute before Mattias Svanberg extended their lead in the 84th minute. In stoppage time, Ayari completed his brace, scoring his team's fifth goal in the 96th minute.
This resounding victory gives Sweden an excellent start in Group F. Ayari's performance was particularly noteworthy. Born in Sweden to a Tunisian father, the attacking midfielder declined a call-up to the Tunisian national team in 2022 to pursue his international career with Swedish clubs. Against the country of his heritage, he was instrumental in the Scandinavian victory, scoring twice.
Tunisia will need to quickly regroup for its upcoming matches in this group, otherwise its chances of qualifying for the second round will be seriously compromised.
