Sweden hit four to reach European Championship final

Sweden will face Portugal in the Under-21 European Championship final after John Guidetti inspired them to a 4-1 win over Denmark.

The Manchester City striker scored the opener from the spot after Isaac Kiese Thelin was dragged to the ground by Alexander Scholz.

Denmark had barely dusted themselves down before they were 2-0 behind, with the Danes unable to stop a lung-busting run from Guidetti down the left, who then kept his head to find Simon Tibbling, who tucked away nicely.

Denmark clawed their way back to a goal behind when Uffe Bech turned in from close range, but Robin Quaison came off the bench to score a goal that eased Sweden's worries. Captain Oscar Hiljemark then rubbed salt into Danish wounds by scoring an injury-time fourth.

Sweden will face Portugal on Tuesday night.

11’ DENMARK GOAL RULED OUT! Poulsen turns the ball in from close range but it hit his hand and is rightly disallowed.

22’ PENALTY TO SWEDEN! Scholz drags Thelin down in the box!

23’ GOAL! Denmark 0-1 Sweden: Guidetti scores for Sweden! He sends Busk the wrong way to score his second goal of the tournament and his most crucial so far!

26’ GOAL! Denmark 0-2 Sweden: Sweden have another! Guidetti turns provider with a brilliant, strong run before finding Tibbling, who takes advantage of Knudsen's slip to slot home! 2-0 Sweden!

61’ GREAT EFFORT! Tibbling's fierce low shot from 20 yards whistles wide of the post. That was something out of nothing for Sweden, who could have been out of sight.

63’ GOAL! Denmark 1-2 Sweden: Bech deftly puts the ball in from close range after a couple of lucky bounces in the box. That doesn't matter to Denmark, who are right back in this!

75’ CHANCE! Great run by Thomsen, who has the Swedish defence backing off, but Poulsen is unable to control the pass and the chance goes begging. Sweden hanging on for dear life.

80’ CLOSE! Khalili is inches away from giving Sweden a 3-1 lead! He just pokes his shot wide.

83' GOAL! Denmark 1-3 Sweden: Quaison scores a third for Sweden! The substitute has done it and there are jubilant scenes in the Sweden end! 3-1 and they're surely in the final.

90'+4 GOAL! Denmark 1-4 Sweden: Hiljemark puts the icing on the cake for Sweden, tapping in with the last kick of the game!

John Guidetti (Sweden) – Only played for an hour, but had the biggest impact on the game with a goal and an assist, after a superb run and cross. Will be the player Portugal need to stop in the final.
