Ayari Nets Twice for Sweden, Silent Celebration Reflects Tunisian Heritage
TL;DR Summary
Sweden’s 22-year-old Yasin Ayari scored twice on his World Cup debut against Tunisia, first celebrating with a muted prostration out of respect for his Tunisian heritage, before finishing with a full celebration after his late second goal. Ayari was born in Sweden to a Tunisian father and Moroccan mother and chose to represent Sweden, not Tunisia, despite being offered a spot by Tunisia.
