Sweden smash five past Tunisia in opener

MONTERREY: Sweden's Yasin Ayari scored two sensational ​goals and Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres also got ​on the scoresheet as they cruised to a 5-1 World Cup Group F victory over Tunisia on Sunday.
Ayari - the son of a Tunisian father and a Moroccan mother - put Sweden ahead in the seventh minute after goalkeeper Mouhib Chamakh fluffed his lines trying to clear under pressure from Isak, and what followed set the tone for the evening.
They eventually clicked again on the hour mark when Isak stole the ball from Ellyes Skhiri and teed up his strike partner to make it 3-1 with a simple finish, and Gyokeres could have added a couple more to his total with some better finishing.
The Tunisians did little in the opening half ​and struggled to recalibrate their game-plan after going behind, ‌but they still managed to pull a goal back before the break, defender Omar Rekik scoring with a superb glancing header that was his side's first effort on target.
Ayari then closed the show in stoppage time with another wonder strike, firing a thunderous shot from outside ​the box that Chamakh was powerless to stop.
It's nice for them to score goals, this convinces them that they are on the right path, but I thought ​they were both fantastic.' — Reuters
