Sweden Sneak The Win

Group B Match

Sweden vs Paraguay
Berlin

Previous Encounters:
Sweden and Paraguay have met twice before. Sweden lost the 2002 friendly in Stockholm (1:2) and drew with Paraguay in Curitiba (2:2), during the Brazil 1950 World Cup Finals; which was enough for them to qualify for the final round.

The Match:
With England already on six points, Sweden's win puts Paraguay out.

The first chance fell to Sweden in the 9th minute, when Kim Kallstrom had his shot pushed around for a corner by Aldo Bobadilla.

Once again, Sweden knocked up a lot of long balls and did a lot of running but had trouble producing anything productive.

Half-time: (0:0).

Just when it looked like Sweden were going to numb the world with another goaless draw, a cross from the right was headed back across the goalmouth, by substitute Marcus Allback, for Fredrik Ljungberg to head past Aldo Bobadilla; two minutes from time.

The Swedish bench celebrated as if they'd just won the World Cup Final, while the Paraquayans knew their World Cup dreams were over.

Sweden now need a point against England to be sure of qualification, or for Trinidad & Tobago to lose or draw against Paraguay.

Final Score:
Sweden 1 - Paraguay 0
