Sweden advance to the quarter-final of the Fifa World Cup 2018 after slugging out a narrow 1-0 win over Switzerland today at the St. Petersburg stadium. Emil Forsberg, who has been brilliant in this tournament, scored the solitary goal of the match albeit with the help of a deflection off Swiss defender Manuel Akanji. Both the teams were wasteful in front of the final third despite creating good chances, and in the end, Sweden edged out Switzerland with a little bit of luck that seemed to be the only factor separating the two teams which were both solid in defence but as profligate in the final third.
Man of the match Emil Forsberg scored the solitary goal of the match between Sweden and Switzerland, albeit with a bit of luck. Sweden's no.10 received the ball at the edge of the penalty area in the 66th minute and took his shot which looked like it would find the Swedish keeper. But Swiss defender Manuel Akanji stuck his foot out, helping the ball inside the ball and beyond the reach of Sommer.
