Tunisia suffered a heavy defeat (1-5) against Sweden in their opening match of Group F at the World Cup.

Displaying clear superiority, the Scandinavians dominated the first half, scoring twice through Yasin Ayari and Alexander Isak.

Tunisia managed the hardest part by narrowing the gap through Omar Rekik, but their mental fragility showed as they conceded three more goals in the second half to Viktor Gyökeres, Mattias Svanberg, and Yasin Ayari once again.
