Comments:

This became Sweden's biggest win at a FIFA World Cup finals since a 8-0 victory against Cuba in Antibes, France on 12 June 1938. . Yasin Ayari's opening goal was Blågult's earliest in a game at a FIFA World Cup tournament since Martin Dahlin against Saudi Arabia at Dallas, USA in 1997 (five minutes). Yasin has a Tunisian father. . Mattias Svanberg’s goal was timed at 18 seconds after coming on as a substitute; the quickest such goal since Richard Morales against Senegal at Suwon, Korea Republic in 2002 (16 seconds). . Mattias Svanberg’s goal was initially disallowed for offside but the decision was subsequently overturned following a VAR review.

Comments:

Manager Sabri Lamouchi was sacked two days after this game and replaced by former Morocco and Saudi Arabia coach Hervé Renard. . This became Tunisia's heaviest-ever defeat in a game at a FIFA World Cup tournament: previously 5-2 versus Belgium in Moscow, Russia in 2018. . The Eagles of Carthage did not concede a goal in their ten qualifying games for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. . They had now lost three consecutive 'A' international games for the first time since June 2018 (included two at the FIFA World Cup in Russia).
