The goal of Emil Forsberg in the middle of the second half helped the Swedish team to go to the next stage of Mundialya (1: 0).
The stage of the 1/8 finals of the World Cup 2018 has already given us a lot of sensations and interesting fights. The meeting of the teams of Sweden and Switzerland did not have a loud sign, but both rivals proved that they are strong enough teams. Note that Vladimir Petkovic could not count on Lihtshtaynera and Cher, and the Scandinavians were disqualified Seba Larsson.
From the first minutes of the team set a good speed, which led to the appearance of sharpness at the gate. For example, Marcus Berg broke into a shock position in someone else's penalty area and kicked the ball into the stands. Closer to the middle of the half, Marcus Berg struck into the far corner - Yann Sommer stretched out into a string and hit reflected. In the future, there was much more fighting in the center of the field, but before leaving for the break the teams exchanged moments. Dzemali tightly struck from a good position - the ball whizzed over the crossbar, and Albin Ekdal struck from a few meters after filing from the flank, but the ball went above the gate.
The beginning of the second half passed under the dictation of the Swedish team, but before the dangerous moments it never came. After that, Vladimir Petkovic's team seized the initiative, but the goal was scored by the nominal owners. Emil Forsberg dared to kick from outside the penalty - the ball hooked Akangji's leg and flew into the goal. 1: 0. After this, several replacements took place in the camp of the Swiss national team, and the team rushed forward.
Ten minutes before the end of the meeting, Forsberg had already beaten the opponent's blow to the corner. The team of Vladimir Petkovich significantly pressed the enemy to the gate and inflicted a lot of blows, but the Swedes coped with any threat. Already in compensated time, Seferovich punctured his head, but Olsen showed an excellent reaction. The Swiss rushed to the attack and left the undisguised rear - Olssen broke out on a date with Sommer, and Lang pushed the enemy, for which he received a deletion.
The final whistle recorded the output of the Swedish national team in the next stage.
