Ayari Nets Twice for Sweden, Silent Celebration Reflects Tunisian Heritage

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.

Ayari’s rocket fuels Sweden past Tunisia 5-1

Sweden opened their World Cup campaign with a 5-1 win over Tunisia, led by Yasin Ayari’s superb early strike and a late finish, with Isak setting up Gyokeres for the third and Mattias Svanberg adding a fourth after a VAR/ball-sensor check. Ayari capped the rout with a second goal, all while honoring his Tunisian heritage with a non-celebration. The result puts Sweden on top of Group F as discussion swirls over whether Ayari’s goal is the best of the tournament so far, aided by snicko-like technology confirming Isak’s touch on the ball.
