Swedish media verdict on Leeds United's Gabriel Gudmundsson after Sweden's 5-1 win over Tunisia

Gabriel Gudmundsson helped Sweden launch their World Cup campaign with a 5-1 victory over Tunisia, yet reviews at home cast him as steady rather than standout.

According to FotbollSkanalen, the Leeds United defender earned a 3/5, assessed as clearly satisfactory given his recent illness and that he asked to be replaced just after the hour. Subsequent reporting indicated the issue was not serious.

The appraisal highlighted his defensive control, noting how comfortably Sweden managed that side of the game. He also offered attacking thrust with overlapping runs that provided width.

The main caveat was the concession, with suggestions he might have prevented the cross that led to Tunisia’s goal.

Overall, he played his part in a convincing start while others took the headlines.
