He was muted in his celebration of the first goal, raising his hands out of respect for the country where his father was born.<\/p>\n<p>Isak scored his 18th international goal in the 30th minute when Gy\u00f6keres found the Liverpool striker \u2014 who was sidelined much of last season with a broken leg \u2014 on a counterattack.

Isak stole the ball and found Gy\u00f6keres for a one-on-one against Chamakh that the Arsenal striker won easily for his 16th goal in his last 15 appearances for Sweden and 21st overall.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden coach Graham Potter said Isak and Gy\u00f6keres have strong chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBehind them, they needed a team that functioned well. I\u2019m pleased for the players tonight that we took a step forward in that,\u201d Potter said.<\/p>\n<p>Svanberg scored in the 84th minute, a goal that was awarded after a lengthy video review.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden will play the Netherlands at Houston on Saturday, while Tunisia will remain in Monterrey and face Japan the same day.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Ethan Wilcox is a student in the University of Georgia\u2019s Carmical Sports Media Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=3056\">Carolina Hurricanes blank Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6 to win their second Stanley Cup<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP World Cup: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/fifa-world-cup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) \u2014 Yasin Ayari scored twice and Sweden showed it belonged at the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
