Sweden shines with "manita", Gykeres and Isak do not forgive. Ivory

Sweden have made a positive start to the World Cup, defeating Tunisia 5-1 in their Group F match.

The result extended the Swedes' unbeaten run in their opening five World Cup matches. Graham Potter's team, who qualified through the play-offs in March, took a two-goal lead in the first half, exploiting inaccuracies in the African defence.

The first goal of the match was scored in the 20th minute by Yasin Ajari, who sent the ball into an empty net from a distance of 25 meters. Sweden doubled their advantage in the 30th minute through a quick counterattack. Viktor Giokeres assisted Isak, with the striker scoring with a powerful shot. Tunisia responded before the break, with defender Omar Rekik heading home a precise cross from the right, narrowing the gap to 2-1.

Despite Tunisia's attempts to find an equalizer early in the second half, Sweden managed to secure a comfortable lead in the 60th minute. Isak put pressure on Tunisian captain Skhiri, snatching the ball from him and passing it into the box for Giokeres. The striker made no mistake from close range, scoring his 15th goal in his last 16 international appearances. The goal denied Sabri Lamuçi's players any chance of a reaction.

In the last 15 minutes, Sweden scored two more goals to seal the final score at 5-1.

Svanberg first scored inside the box, and a few minutes later Ajari scored his second personal goal with a powerful shot from outside the box. With this victory, Sweden takes the lead in Group F before the next match against the Netherlands. On the other hand, Tunisia continues its run without a win in the opening matches since 1978 and will seek its first points against Japan.

In the other match, Ivory Coast won 1-0 against Ecuador.
