SWEDEN V CZECH REPUBLIC - SWEDES WIN IN EXTRA TIME

He is brought down clumsily by Claesson.

At one end he put in a decent cross which his team-mates did not attack, then soon afterwards he was making a last-ditch challenge to deny an attacking opportunity. There was a substitute ready to replace him but he is likely to wait until half time now you'd think.

The Tottenham man is played through in the penalty area but from a narrow angle he drags his effort wide.

Lindelof misjudged a throw in allowing Kuchta to get in behind him and he laid back for Hlozek, only for Nilsson to lunge in and divert the ball past his own keeper but, fortunately for him, also wide of his own goal.

Forsberg's free kick was deep to the far post and Lindelof just kept it in and put in a dangerous ball across the six-yard box but no Swede could take advantage.

It is an intriguing tie this with both sides having their share of possession and territorial advantage.

The full back gets to the left by-line but Holes clears the danger.

Soucek turns and shoots in one motion in the area but it flies over the bar.

The result for a free kick is upheld.

The corner came in and the referee Martin Atkinson blew for a free kick, which it must be said did not look clear, before Kuchta turned the ball into the net. VAR are now checking.

Robin Olsen was wrong-footed but it flew into the side-netting.

He made room on the left flank and dinked in a lovely low cross to the six-yard box but Kulusevski's diving header was wide.

Forsberg's corner was low at the front post and Isak met the ball with a clever flick on the volley which flew a yard or so over.

FORSBERG PLAYS THE BALL TO ISAK

But the ball is put out for a corner.

The ball falls to Forsberg within shooting range but he sends his effort wide.

Almost ready to go.

Although both sides have been better represented in the recent past, they still fully expect qualification - and will be happy to be in their half of the draw where the winner will play Poland.

Unsurprisingly, given Sweden are at home, they are strongly fancied by the bookies to go through at 1/2. They are about 11/10 to win, with the Czechs 3/1 and an understandably skinny 2/1 for it to go to extra time.

Though the Czedch republic finished behind Belgium and Wales in Group E, their good record in the Nations League 2020-21 competition earned them this match in Stockholm.

With four minutes to go in the deciding match against Spain, Sweden were a goal from topping Group B, but Alvaro Morata's late strike ensured Spain are already in Qatar while Sweden need two more wins.
