Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio BBVA. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Graham Potter will be considering his options from the bench.
- 7' Sweden is taking the lead after the goal scored by Yasin Ayari on 7.
- 12' Kristoffer Nordfeldt is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sweden so far.
- 17' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sweden must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 22' It looks like no one’s ball. Tunisia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Goal! Alexander Isak scores his 116 goal in 526 matches.
- 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Elias Saad, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio BBVA with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 43' Omar Rekik does the damage! The net is bulging and Tunisia surge ahead!
- 48' A quiet spell here at Estadio BBVA. Sweden seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 53' Alexander Bernhardsson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 284 appearances.
- 54' It’s gonna be a card for Rani Khedira.
- 59' What a strike from Viktor Gyokeres! The score is 3-1.
- 64' It is a cagey affair so far. Sweden in their 3-4-1-2 trying to find a way past Tunisia's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 65' Sweden ring the changes. Gabriel Gudmundsson has done his job and it is now time for Elliot Stroud to step up.
- 70' Tunisia international Mohamed Amine Ben Hamida has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Sebastian Tounekti. He replaces Elias Saad on 72 minute.
- 77' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 82' The travelling Tunisia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 83' The Tunisia bench stirs into life. Rani Khedira is withdrawn and Ismael Gharbi gets his opportunity.
- 84' GOAL! Mattias Svanberg fires home to make it 4-1!
- 84' Anis Ben Slimane makes way for Firas Chaouat at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Tunisia.
- 89' With 2 assists to his name this season, Hannibal Mejbri is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sweden.
- 90' Anthony Elanga gets the nod from Sweden. He replaces Alexander Isak and will look to change the dynamic.
- With this win, Sweden is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
