Kulusevski is booked for fouling Zinchenko, then a quiet period. It feels like both sides are gathering themselves for a final blow-out.

AAARRRGGGHHH! Forsberg ducks in off the left, inside a challenge that takes him into the box, then away from another that takes him outside the box, but opens the space for him to unfurl a curler that shrieks past Bashchan and onto the bar! That was almost an incredible goal, but instead it's nothing. This game!

Ukraine counter, and Yaremchuk feeds Yarmolenko, right of the box and 15 yards out. He opens his body nicely, looking for the far corner, but doesn't get his body-shape right, curling straight at Olsen.

Kulusevski's really enjoying himself, and he cuts in off the left to curl a shot that's rasping towards the far side-netting ... but Bushchan gets across to prang clear.
66'
He's not booked, I should add. I'm sure someone's told the refs that players are better on the pitch than off it, if at all possible.

Malinovskyi rattles Olsson - "the tackle of a man annoyed he didn't start," growls Martin Keown knowingly.
63'
Malinowskyi goes down the left and swings over a cross that misses everyone, but Sydorchuk collects it and thrashes a cross that Olsen collects easily enough.

Ukraine send on Malinovskyi for Shaparenko.
60'
There's that pass I mentioned earlier, Lindelof over the top for Isak, and he's in! But his attempted stroke is too nonchalant and goes wide ... before a replay shows that he was offside.
59'
And here's Forsberg again, sliding Augustinsson in down the line. His cross is a goodun too, low and hard, but in the middle Olsson can't quite get on the end of it.

Sweden are gathering momentum now....

Now it's Sweden's go! Isak, collecting the ball in centrefield, opens up his legs and moves past two men in centrefield before spreading for Forsberg. He takes a touch, opens his body ... and bumps a low finish against the base of the post!

Sweden have stopped playing! Yarmolenko moves down the right then clips back a pass for Stepanenko, who arrives onto it beautifully 20 yards out, right of centre. He punches a curler that bends back towards goal ... and cracks the near post!

Forsberg inches from left to right, flicking a square pass to Larsson ... who takes a touch and drives wide from 22 yards.

Yamolenko plays a one-two off Karavaev, crossing well. But no one really gambles, so Sweden clear ....only as far as Stepanenko, who bumbles shot wide.
52'
Sydorchuk sticks a ball over the top and in behind for Yarmolenko, but Olsen reads it well, charging out of goal to clear. It's been a good tournament for Everton keepers so far - he's been good and so has Jordan Pickford.
51'
Ukraine are fully sitting off no, barely engaging until they have to defend their box.
49'
But Zinchenko brings Ukraine forward and spreads to Karavaev down the right. His cross is a goodun too, forcing Danielson to slide into a leg-extension by way of interception. Excellent defendig.
48'
Sweden have resumed where they left off, Kulusevski and Forsberg bringing them forward.
47'
That made me laugh, but as I said, I quite enjoyed the actual football.
