First, France put 3-1.
Later, Victor Lindelöf was forced to resign due to back problems.
– Sweden seems tired, says C More expert Hanna Marklund.
Sweden needs a better result than Croatia tonight to remain in Group A of the Nations League. And Blågult couldn’t have gotten off to a much better start against France at the Stade de France.
With Albin Ekdal suspended, Sebastian Larsson got in the middle and Viktor Claesson had the opportunity from the start on the right. It was also Claesson who took the lead after four minutes.
Smiled bad
The midfielder encountered Mikael Lustig on the right wing and then recovered the ball in the penalty area. Despite five Frenchmen around him, Claesson managed to make it 1-0 with French feet.
– Gives an indication of the French team that may not be fully connected. They are ready and may not be ready to go a hundred in the dueling game, says C More expert Hanna Marklund.
However, France’s response came in the 17th minute after Olivier Giroud equalized. Before the end of the first half, Benjamin Pavard also had time to raise to 2-1.
In the 59th minute, Giroud increased to 3-1. Soon after, Victor Lindelöf was forced to resign. The midfielder, who has suffered back problems, smirked for much of the first half and was replaced by a triple substitution in the 66th minute.
– There are many spent players. Sweden seems tired, says Hanna Marklund.
