With a blinder from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and a rather fortuitous bundle in by Petter Hansson, a game that looked fully open at half time, is now pretty much over and won by the Swedes – who will now be sitting pretty in second spot of Group D if the score remains the same.

Greece have failed to hold out to their clean sheet as they did in the first half… And it’s interesting to note the increase in work-rate of the Scandinavians after the first 45 minutes. Putting in that extra yard of graft seems to have given them the slight edge in this game – and with the team having covered an extra 5,000 metres over the first 75 minutes, perhaps their superior fitness is telling.

Blogabet said that Sweden would not be fit enough to overpower Greece for this one, and I agreed. We were both wrong. Stats powered by the Castrol Performance Index.
