Gelungener WM-Auftakt
Ayaris Knaller rahmen Schwedens Sieg gegen Tunesien ein
Stand: 15.06.2026 • 06:53 Uhr
Die Schweden leiten ihren souveränen Erfolg gegen Tunesien schon zeitig ein, auch beide Top-Stars treffen. Tunesien leistet sich zu viele Fehler, um einen Punkt zu erkämpfen.
Von Michi Glang
Schweden hat im ersten Spiel der WM 2026 einen ungefährdeten 5:1 (2:1)-Sieg gegen Tunesien gefeiert. Yasin Ayari brachte die Skandinavier früh in Führung (7. Minute), Alexander Isak erhöhte nach einer halben Stunde. Kurz vor der Pause sorgte Omar Rekik mit dem Anschluss für neue Hoffnung bei Tunesien (43.). Im zweiten Abschnitt stellte Viktor Gyökeres den alten Abstand wieder her (60.), Joker Mattias Svanberg erhöhte blitzschnell nach seiner Einwechslung (84.), bevor Ayari den fulminanten Schlusspunkt setzte (90.+6).
"Fünf Tore, eine solide Leistung, wir hätten noch mehr Treffer erzielen können - alle Spieler waren fantastisch", sagte Trainer Graham Potter nach dem zweithöchsten Sieg der schwedischen WM-Geschichte: "Es gibt immer Raum, sich noch zu verbessern. Aber wir werden die heutige Nacht genießen."
Schwedens Ayari jagt den Ball ins Tor
Das Spiel brauchte keine lange Anlaufphase. Arsenal-Star Viktor Gyökeres hatte in der 5. Minute viel Platz auf der linken Seite, zog nach innen und kam zum Abschluss - drüber. Die Skandinavier blieben direkt auf dem Gaspedal. Nach einem langen Ball auf Alexander Isak kam erneut Gyökeres zum Abschluss, wurde aber geblockt. Der Abpraller landete 20 Meter vor dem Tor bei Ayari, der sich den Ball zurechtlegte und ihn mit enormer Wucht in die Maschen jagte - ein Traumtor.
Tunesien mit den Deutschland-Legionären Rani Khedira (Union Berlin), Kapitän Ellyes Skhiri (Eintracht Frankfurt) und dem zuletzt vom FC Augsburg an Hannover 96 ausgeliehenen Elias Saad war zunächst ausschließlich defensiv gefordert. Dann aber wurde Angreifer Anis Ben Slimane auf der linken Seite freigespielt, der an Keeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt scheiterte, aber auch im Abseits gestanden hatte (13.).
Isak erhöht - Rekik bringt Tunesien zurück
Schweden kontrollierte das Geschehen, das Spiel nahm sich eine kurze Auszeit. Saads Distanzschuss aus gut 20 Metern ging deutlich drüber, dann bat Schiedsrichter Yael Falcon aus Argentinien im Stadion von Monterrey schon zur obligatorischen Trinkpause. Die Schweden, die in der Qualifikation nicht ein Spiel gewonnen hatten und es nur über den Sieg in der Nations-League-Gruppe C in die Playoffs geschafft und sich dort gegen Polen durchgesetzt hatten, hatten auch danach alles im Griff.
Und sie schlugen erneut eiskalt zu. Gyökeres bediente Isak auf der linken Seite. Der stramme, aber nicht sehr platzierte Abschluss des Liverpoolers rutschte Tunesiens Keeper Mouhib Chamakh über den Arm ins lange Eck. Die Nordafrikaner waren nun ein wenig von der Rolle, gefährlicher waren weiterhin die Schweden: Gyökeres verpasste eine Hereingabe von Alexander Bernhardsson am langen Pfosten nur knapp (40.). Aus heiterem Himmel kam Tunesien zurück ins Spiel. Nach einer scharfen Halbfeldflanke von Hannibal köpfte Rekik aus acht Metern unhaltbar ein und sorgte für neue Hoffnung für die zweite Halbzeit.
Schweden bestraft Skhiris Patzer
Tunesien startete mit viel Ballbesitz in den zweiten Durchgang, Schweden schaute sich erstmal an, was die Nordafrikaner zu bieten hatten: Hannibals Flanke wurde immer länger, doch Nordfeldt packte sicher zu (50.). Beide Teams agierten im Vorwärtsgang zu ungenau, großer Spielfluss kam dadurch nicht zustande. Stattdessen wurde das Geschehen körperlicher. Khedira räumte Jesper Karlström ab und sah die Gelbe Karte.
Dann profitierten die Schweden von einem groben Schnitzer von Skhiri: Der Frankfurter ließ sich im Aufbau den Ball von Isak abluchsen, Sturmpartner Gyökeres ließ sich nicht lange bitten und schob frei vor Torhüter Chamakh zum 3:1 ein.
Mehr Platz für Schweden
Tunesien bemühte sich darum, Druck aufzubauen, doch die Mittel waren begrenzt. Gefährlicher waren die Schweden mit ihrer individuellen Qualität. Mehrmals kamen Isak und Gyökeres in die gefährlichen Räume, aber nicht entscheidend zum Abschluss.
Die Nordafrikaner blieben viel zu harmlos, um noch mal ins Spiel zurückzukommen. Gerade einen Torschuss brachte das Team von Trainer Sabri Lamouchi nach dem Wechsel bis zur 80. Minute zustande. Stattdessen klingelte es auf der anderen Seite noch mal. Der Sekunden zuvor eingewechselte Svanberg schoss nach einem Freistoß von der Seite aus vermeintlicher Abseitsposition ein. Weil aber Isak den Ball noch minimal in Svanbergs Richtung gespitzelt hatte, war er in der erlaubten Zone, der Treffer zählte nach Intervention des VAR.
In der Nachspielzeit vertändelte Tunesien erneut den Ball und Ayari sorgte mit seinem zweiten tollen Treffer aus der Distanz für den Schlusspunkt.
