Sweden dominates Tunisia 5-1 in World Cup opener with Isak's key contributions

Sweden secured a commanding 5-1 victory over Tunisia in their World Cup opener on June 15, 2026, in Monterrey. Alexander Isak shined with a goal and two assists, starting with Yasin Ayari's opener, before Isak scored himself and later assisted Viktor Gyokeres and Matias Svanberg. This win places Sweden in a strong position within Group F after Japan and the Netherlands drew 2-2. The performance is particularly significant for Isak, who is looking to build momentum after an injury-impacted season with Liverpool. Sweden aims to continue their success in the upcoming matches of the tournament.
