Sweden set the tone early at Estadio Monterrey. Ayari opened the scoring at 6', and the home side doubled the advantage at 29' when Isak finished with Gyokeres providing the assist.
Tunisia found a lifeline before the interval. Omar Rekik pulled one back at 42', set up by Hannibal Mejbri, to make it 2-1 and keep the contest alive at half-time.
The second half swung decisively Sweden’s way. Tunisia’s Rani Khedira went into the book on 53', and five minutes later Sweden restored their two-goal cushion at 59' as Gyokeres converted from an Isak assist.
Sweden’s late surge turned the score into a rout. Substitute Mattias Svanberg struck at 83' - a goal later confirmed after VAR at 85' - before Ayari completed his brace on 90', assisted by Lucas Bergvall. The stats-backed story was clinical finishing: Sweden scored 5 from 13 shots, sealing the standout highlights of the match.
