Sweden won on the smallest marging against Slovakia and temporarily takes the lead of Group E. After a soporific first period, the Swedes still showed better intentions after returning from the locker room. Despite two good interventions from Dubravka in front of Augustinsson and then Isak, the Slovakian goalkeeper finally conceded a penalty against Quaison, transformed by Forsberg (77th).
For all football lovers, this match between Sweden and Slovakia (1-0) was probably not a favorite. Not helped by a big heat on Saint Petersburg, the two formations offered an unspectacular game with a small rhythm and rare occasions. However, there is combat! The Swedes and the Slovaks went blast for blast with many faults. At least there was intensity.
Hubocan, the former Marseillais still has juice. For the second game in a row, the left side of Slovakia held this Euro. Correct against Poland (2-1), the former Marseillais perfectly held his rank against Sweden (0-1). Impeccable in his defensive work, the 35-year-old, currently at Omonia Nicosia, has even made some interesting offensive surges to create danger. We have rarely seen him so solid at OM (2016-2019). 5. Sweden takes the lead. After a draw against Spain (0-0), Sweden took advantage of this victory against Slovakia (1-0) to move closer to qualifying in the 8th. Provisionally leading Group E with 4 points pending the Spain – Poland match on Saturday, the Swedes are ahead of the Slovaks, 2nd with 3 points on the clock and still in the race.
