No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Despite a strong first half in Sweden, Switzerland are lucky not to go into the break trailing.
- Sweden midfielder Bergvall spectacularly misses the opening goal for the home team in front of an empty net.
Not true! In the 43rd minute of the top duel in World Cup qualifying Group B between Sweden and Switzerland, the entire Strawberry Arena in Solno was already screaming for a goal. Superstar Isak flicks the ball away from Switzerland's defensive boss Akanji and heads towards the Swiss goal. There he crosses to the free-standing Bergvall. But the midfielder fumbles the ball in front of the empty box.
Pure luck from the Swiss team's point of view. In the end, the Nati win the game 2:0 thanks in part to Bergvall's miss.
