Goal show in Monterrey: Sweden's lethal attacking line

From the start, the Swedes applied heavy pressure on their opponent's goal. In the debut phase of the match, the 7th minute, talented midfielder Ayari managed to open the scoring. Shortly after, in the 30th minute, the team's star player Alexander Isak doubled the lead. The Africans seemed to bring some intrigue back to the game just before halftime, as Rekik scored in the 43rd minute to narrow the gap.

However, in the second half, the European side left no chance for their opponents. In the 60th minute, one of the hottest strikers of the current season, Viktor Gyökeres, put his name on the scoreboard, and in the 84th minute, Svanberg extended the lead to a rout. In stoppage time (90+6), Ayari, the hero of the match, celebrated his brace and put the final nail in the coffin.
