Sweden dismantled Tunisia 5–1 in a dominant Group F display at the 2026 World Cup, with the hosts' 3-1-4-2 formation overwhelming Tunisia's defensive 5-3-2 setup. Yasin Ayari led the Swedish assault with two goals, while Mattias Svanberg, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres added one each, capitalising on a significant quality disparity. Sweden created 13 shots with seven on target, though their expected goals of 1.33 underscored Tunisia's stubborn resistance despite their limited threat—just six shots and 0.28 xG. Sweden's goalkeeper faced minimal pressure, recording a 28.57% save percentage, though conceding 2.12 post-shot xG suggested some defensive lapses. Tunisia's compact shape offered occasional resistance but lacked the attacking impetus to trouble their opponents consistently. The victory positions Sweden strongly in Group F with a commanding opening statement.
