Evening all, and welcome to Georgia v Sweden!

We go again! This is a huge half for Sweden...

That was a fun half. Sweden , who need a win to qualify for Qatar, had various good chances, but Georgia came closer to scoring.

Half-time: Georgia 0-0 Sweden

I'll level with you: this is a much better game than I thought it was going to be.

But Sweden come back, Krafth again crsossing well from the right, and it looks like the ball flicks Kashia's arm - but not on purpose - then Zlatan wallops high.

The play is mre balanced now. We had a period that was all Sweden, but Georgia are threatening on the break.

Georgia have had a good few minutes and here they come again, Azarov sliding a ball inside Krafth for Kvaratskhelia, but arriving at the back post, Lobzanidze can only ram a first-time effort that flicks the far! What a chance that was!

Azarov fies down the left and digs out a cross, that Lindelof turns away.

The corner sails beyond the back post, Sweden retrieve possession and go again, but Svanberg's cross is gathered by Loria.

Loria flies ot hos goal to punch Augustinsson's cross away, then Augustinsson goes again and wins a corner...

While we're in a lull, let it be said that Isak has a serious amount of potential. And there he is now, peeling off his man and just unable to collect Zlatan's through-pass.

A quiet period.

Lindelof moseys forward unmolested and all of a sudden he's on the edge of the box, flicking a disguised reverse-pass in behind, that Claesson leaves ... and Isak's in! But his finish, an attempted nutmeg, is tame, and Loria saves again. Sweden will be aggravated with how they've finished, but if they keep creating quality chances, they'll be fine.

Lobzanidze dinks a ball towards the left of the box, where Azarov pulls away and cuts back for Okrinashvili, whose shot is blocked.

This all started in something of a hurry, so allow me to to say that if Sweden win tonight, they're through; if they draw, they'll need a point in Spain on Sunday.

Zlatan makes first contact with the corner at the near post, the ball dropping to Lindelof, who has two shots blocked! Surely Georgia can't keep this up all night?!

Isak finds Krafth down the right, whose cross is a goodun ... and Zlatan's up! But his loopy header looks to be going over, then Loria makes sure, tipping over the top.

Sweden have improved a bit, Olsson sliding a ball in behind that's just too strong for Isak, but the one-touch passing that preceded it was pleasant.

Like I said, Zlatan is an unreliable finisher.

WHAT A MISS! Isak, just outsixde the box, curves a fine, delicate ball over from the left and Zlatan is in front of goal, having pulled off Kakabadze! This must be! But no! He caresses a gently header far too close to Loria, and what an oversight that is!

During the Euros, I wasn't sure why Kulusevski wasn't an automatic choice, and I'm even less sure now. He's plenty good enough to play in this team.
