Subscribe with the ZEE5 Quarterly Plan at \u20b9799 or the Annual Plan at \u20b91,699 and stream every Group F match in India.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first time Yasin Ayari scored, he stood still. No sprint, no shout, no arms raised. Just a quiet look towards the Tunisia supporters, and the briefest moment of stillness in the middle of a FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His father is Tunisian. The goal was his. The celebration was not something he could give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time the final whistle sounded at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, Sweden had won 5\u20131, Ayari had scored twice \u2014 including a 95th-minute second that sealed the rout \u2014 and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres had delivered the kind of all-action performance that reminds world football why he is one of its most complete forwards. Group F has a leader. It arrived quickly and emphatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ayari_breaks_the_silence_%E2%80%94_then_withholds_the_joy\"><\/span><strong>Ayari breaks the silence \u2014 then withholds the joy.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/sweden\/sweden-squad\">Sweden<\/a> struck in the 6th minute, and it was spectacular. Ayari received the ball twenty-five yards from goal, took one look up, and bent a curling effort into the top-right corner with his right foot. It was the kind of finish that brings stadiums to their feet. At Estadio BBVA, the Swedish contingent erupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayari did not join them. Born in Sweden to Moroccan-Tunisian parents, he had spoken in the days before the tournament about the emotional complexity of facing Tunisia. The goal was real. The silence in its aftermath was deliberate and dignified. In a tournament built on moments, this was already one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isak_and_Gyokeres_take_control\"><\/span><strong>Isak and Gy\u00f6keres take control.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweden&#8217;s second goal arrived in the 29th minute, and it was constructed exactly as you would expect from a side built around the partnership of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres. Gy\u00f6keres drove forward on a rapid counter-attack, held off his marker, and released Isak in the channel. Isak&#8217;s finish was calm and precise. 2\u20130.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/tunisia\/tunisia-squad\">Tunisia<\/a>&#8216;s response came three minutes before halftime, and it was excellent. Hannibal Mejbri \u2014 one of the most technically gifted players in the Tunisian squad \u2014 delivered a cross that Omar Rekik met with a brilliant header. 2\u20131. Tunisia had a foothold. Halftime arrived with the match still alive, if not quite even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gyokeres_kills_the_contest\"><\/span><strong>Gy\u00f6keres kills the contest.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second half turned on a single mistake. In the 58th minute, Tunisia captain Ellyes Skhiri was dispossessed in his own half \u2014 the kind of turnover that at this level can be fatal. Gy\u00f6keres read it instantly, collected possession, drove forward, and slotted the ball past the goalkeeper with the composure of a man entirely comfortable deciding matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3\u20131. The match was effectively over. Tunisia&#8217;s effort and shape, commendable for much of the first half, began to fragment under the relentless Swedish press. The physical intensity of Gy\u00f6keres and Isak&#8217;s incisive running created problems that Tunisia simply could not consistently solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Substitutes_and_stoppage_time_finish_the_job\"><\/span><strong>Substitutes and stoppage time finish the job.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mattias Svanberg came off the bench in the 83rd minute and needed barely a handful of touches to add Sweden&#8217;s fourth. Then, deep into five minutes of stoppage time, Ayari completed his personal moment of the tournament \u2014 a second goal, a brace, and this time perhaps the faintest hint of a smile he could not entirely suppress. 5\u20131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweden&#8217;s squad depth told its own story. Three goals from different contributors, a clean and controlled second half, and the kind of ruthless finishing in transition that a side with Gy\u00f6keres and Isak playing together can produce on any given evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_this_means_for_Group_F\"><\/span><strong>What this means for Group F<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweden is at the top of Group F. The Netherlands \u2014 sitting on one point after their 2\u20132 draw with Japan \u2014 will view Sweden as the team they most need to match in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Tunisia, the defeat is heavy but not necessarily fatal. Their first-half performance showed enough quality to suggest they can compete. The Rekik header was excellent. Hannibal Mejbri offered creativity that will trouble other opponents. But conceding 5 goals \u2014 including three in the second half after Skhiri&#8217;s turnover \u2014 has left them with a goal difference problem that will need to be corrected quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Indian fans watching the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 at 7:30 AM IST, Sweden&#8217;s opening night delivered goals, a moment of genuine sporting dignity in Ayari&#8217;s silent celebration, and a clear signal that Group F is going to be among the tournament&#8217;s most watchable. The Swedes have arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Don&#8217;t miss Sweden&#8217;s next Group F match \u2014 stream every FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 fixture live in India on <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/myaccount\/subscription?plan-ref=0-11-7467&amp;asset-ref=0-6-4z5914493&amp;visibility=SELECTED&amp;context=FIFA\"><strong><em>ZEE5 FIFA Subscription<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> and follow all the action from Monterrey to the final.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Disclaimer: Subscription pack prices are subject to change from time to time.
