Ayari opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a superb long-range effort. The midfielder, whose father was born in Tunisia, chose not to celebrate wildly and instead raised his hands in a respectful gesture.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Sweden&#8217;s attacking trio continued to torment the Tunisian defence and doubled the lead in the 30th minute. <!-- -->Viktor Gy\u00f6keres launched a swift counterattack before setting up Alexander Isak, who cut inside and drilled a low shot beyond goalkeeper Mouhib Chamakh for his 18th international goal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Tunisia briefly reignited hopes of a comeback when Omar Rekik headed home in the 43rd minute, reducing the deficit to 2-1 and giving the Eagles of Carthage something to build on after the break.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Isak and Gy\u00f6keres combine to crush Tunisia<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Any thoughts of a Tunisian revival were quickly extinguished in the second half.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Isak turned provider shortly after the restart, winning possession before releasing Gy\u00f6keres, who made no mistake in a one-on-one situation to score his 21st goal for Sweden and continue his remarkable scoring streak.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Sweden&#8217;s relentless pressure produced a fourth goal in the 84th minute when Mattias Svanberg found the net after a lengthy VAR review confirmed the strike.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>There was still time for Ayari to complete a memorable night. <!-- -->Deep into stoppage time, the midfielder unleashed another powerful strike from distance to bookend the scoring and cap a dazzling individual performance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Sweden seize control of Group F<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The convincing victory extended Sweden&#8217;s unbeaten run in World Cup openers to five matches and propelled them to the summit of Group F.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Ranked 39th in the world, Sweden made a powerful statement that they intend to challenge the group favourites.
