Mattias Svanberg scored for Sweden just 18 seconds after substituting, allowing his team to lead Tunisia during their World Cup match on June 15, 2026. Initially judged offside, the goal was later awarded following a VAR review that determined Alexander Isak had lightly touched the ball, putting Svanberg onside. The use of waveform technology, similar to cricket's Snickometer, played a key role in this decision, confirming the touch that was not visible to the naked eye. Sweden aims to build on this momentum as the tournament progresses.
