• Sweden – Denmark 1.2 (1-0)

(Dagbladet): Sweden was likely to have a good and comfortable base ahead of Tuesday’s second leg against Denmark in Parken. But when the Swedes were not as agile at the end of the fight, they were punished by the Danish guests.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was still Sweden’s savior once again, with a penalty goal – and now has nine goals in nine European Championship qualifiers.

– It was a good game, but we were tired at the end, lost his and made the score, says Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the game – and was clearly also influenced by yesterday’s terror in his hometown.

Zlatan broke the curse

Emil Forsberg was the one who ensured Swedish leadership to break, when he hammered into a 1-0 lead just before the season.

It was the Swedes who had the greatest chances in the first place at Friends Arena. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played six games against Denmark before, but never managed to score against the neighbors before.

He was close in the first half and was only centimeters basis of on several occasions. Erik Hamrén screamed that he had when he stubbornly believed it was a penalty when Zlatan was fouled in the first place, but both he and Zlatan had to wait until the second half before PSG star picked try scorer.

Important reducer

second half was just four minutes old when Emil Forsberg was fouled on the way through. From the penalty Zlatan safe as the bank – and thus put into his first goal against Denmark ever.

The protagonist himself had not so much to say about what the historical goal had to say.

– It means that we win today, we hope it also helps in the second game.

After Sweden’s 2-0 goal had not guests from Denmark much to offer, and hammered men seemed to be

comfortable with his leadership.

But when the Swedes relaxed, slammed it from the Danes. On corner by Christian Eriksen was flicked on by Yussuf Poulsen, Nicolai Eriksen as with a wide toe struck the reduction. Away goal could prove invaluable during Tuesday’s return match in Parken.

After the reduction woke Danes to life, but was unable to insert the levy.
