Sweden announced their return to the World Cup in stunning fashion, demolishing Tunisia 5-1 in a breathtaking Group F opener at Estadio BBVA, with Yasin Ayari stealing the show with a magnificent brace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ayari the scored for the Swedish with long-range goals in the seventh minute and in second-half stoppage time. He was muted in his celebration of the first goal, raising his hands out of respect for the country where his father was born.<\/p>\n

Tunisia goalkeeper Abdelmouhib Chamakh had opened up the chance for Ayari to strike with a rash attempt at a clearance, and the shot-stopper\u2019s woes continued throughout the evening.<\/p>\n

Isak scored his 18th international goal in the 30th minute when Gy\u00f6keres found the Liverpool striker on a counterattack. Isak cut inside and fired a low shot past Chamakh\u2019s hands. Tunisia briefly threatened a comeback when Rekik stalled Sweden\u2019s momentum with his goal in the 43rd minute, but Isak and Gy\u00f6keres put Sweden back in control after the break.<\/p>\n

Substitute Mattias Svanberg came on and scored within 16 seconds of his entry to make an instant impact, before Ayari rounded off a near-perfect night.<\/p>\n

Sweden are the second team to score three goals from outside the box in a single FIFA World Cup match since 1966.<\/p>\n

Graham Potter\u2019s men now lead Group F, two points clear of the Netherlands and Japan, who drew 2-2 earlier in the day. Sweden\u2019s World Cup dream is very much alive.<\/p>\n
