To your attention the review of the day of World Cup 2018 for July 3.
Sweden - Switzerland 1: 0 Sweden for the first time in almost quarter of a century entered the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup. The ball that flew into the net after the strike of Emil Forsberg brought the Scandinavians a minimal victory (1: 0) over Switzerland in St. Petersburg.
From the very beginning the match was very closed. Sweden adhered to its tried and tested recipe: sit down deeper to its gates, defend itself and seek happiness in counterattacks. Switzerland played a somewhat more active match, more possession of the ball, but the wait-and-see tactics of Janne Andersson's team proved to be more productive. Moments and one, and the other team was a little, but the Swedes eventually ordered better.
Most of the match rivals waged something like a war of attrition, but gradually the tension grew, it became clear that the decisive moment was not far off, and only a bad implementation for the time being allowed to keep the zeros on the scoreboard. In the end, the fortune chose its favorite: the Swiss left Forsberg without guardianship on the penalty area, and he struck a blow, justifying the advances that were issued to him before the tournament. Manuel Akandji made a desperate attempt to hit the ball, but the one from the defender's foot flew into the goal. Sweden - in the quarterfinals!.
Colombia - England 1: 1 (3: 4 on penalties) Team England, despite the fact that missed the extra time of the second half, managed to beat Colombia in a series of post-match penalties. The English are in a good mood, as evidenced by their comments after the game.
