Sweden opened the scoring in the 7th minute through Y. Ayari and doubled the lead at the half-hour mark when A. Isak, assisted by V. Gyökeres, made it 2-0. Tunisia pulled one back just before the break, O. Rekik converting from H. Mejbri's assist to make it 2-1 at half-time. Sweden reasserted control in the second half: Gyökeres restored the two-goal cushion in the 59th minute, assisted by Isak, and M. Svanberg added a fourth in the 84th minute, also set up by Isak. Ayari completed the scoring in the 90+6th minute, assisted by L. Bergvall, to finish with two goals on the night and seal a 5-1 final.

The three points move Sweden into a strong early position in Group F. Tunisia, who held 51 percent of the ball but managed only six shots and two on target, face an immediate uphill climb in the standings. Sweden's xG of 1.26 against Tunisia's 0.2 underlines the gulf in clear chances across the match. Tunisia's R. Khedira was booked in the 54th minute, the only card of the game.
