Sweden beats Denmark 2-1 in Euro 2016 1st leg playoff

Today’s Sweden-Denmark game was the second leg of their Euro 2016 playoff.

Then he punished the Danes for their failure to create chances with a handsome curling free kick in the 76th minute to send the Swedes closer to a place in France next year. “But I just retired their entire nation”.

Both the teams now need to pull themselves together for the second leg on Tuesday, with the tie being finely balanced – Sweden have the lead, while Denmark have the away goal.

And Bendtner is very pleased with the way Denmark reacted to stay in the game and believes they can do it.

Roman Shirokov’s 89th-minute goal gave Russian Federation a 1-0 win over Portugal in a friendly Saturday, extending the winning start to new Russian Federation coach Leonid Slutsky’s reign.

After Hungary and Ireland, Sweden and Ukraine claimed the final Euro 2016 tickets.

It was looking grim for him at one point but his team rallied after pulling a goal back and it was Sweden who were hanging on at the end.

The first was a header over from a corner and he was stretching to reach the second that he poked wide, yet the third was a brilliant opportunity that the striker should have hit the target from.

Over the course of the 90 minutes in Solna, hosts Sweden had just 37% of the possession, took 13 shots of which just four were on target, and earned four corners.

Ibrahimovic, who scored eight goals in qualifying, downplayed the significance of the Danish goal. The rumours are that Ibrahimovic will leave Paris Saint-Germain to be replaced by a new superstar, and it’s not clear if he will move on to a traditionally important side in Europe.

Sweden of course will look to their star man Zlatan to lead the way. His guile put his side ahead, and his strength and determination nearly caused Agger to score an own goal.
