This time, Iceland could not threaten.

Sweden won 2-0 at home after, among other things, a dream goal from Oliva Schough and is ready for the European Championship in England.

“It’s so fucking good!” He tells SVT.

In Iceland, Sweden did not order physical play and Icelandic long pitch shoes that held Sweden 1-1. But at home, with a place in the European championship in case of victory, there was finally a class difference.

After an even start, Sweden changed control of the match in the 25th minute when Sofia Jakobsson made it 1-0 after a sloppy defensive nod from Glodis Viggosdottir.

Sweden accelerated and Iceland found it increasingly difficult to keep up.

“Very beautiful”

And in minute 57 it was really fast. Kosovar Asllani turned on a counterattack, learning of Olivia Schough from the right and Djurgårdsspelaren broke through a defense earlier and finished with a rock-hard shot to the left cross.

– I have fought a lot for this this year and I am very happy for my goal and to be back in the national team. I can’t be more than happy, Olivia Schough tells SVT.

The victory means that Sweden is ready for the 2022 European Championship with one match to play in the qualifying match against Slovakia.

– It’s very nice to be ready now, we really wanted to take a chance today, says Peter Gerhardsson at SVT.
