Match report
Sweden beat Poland 3-1 at Strawberry Arena after taking the lead twice and pulling away after the break. Benjamin Nygren put the hosts ahead in the 8th minute, Poland levelled before half-time, and Sweden scored twice in the second half to settle it.
Nygren opened the scoring on 8 minutes from Victor Lindelöf, making it 1-0. Sebastian Szymański equalised in the 43rd minute from Nicola Zalewski to leave it 1-1 at half-time.
Sweden went back in front in the 63rd minute when Yasin Ayari scored from Sebastian Nanasi, who had come on in the 63rd minute. Viktor Gyökeres then made it 3-1 on 72 minutes, with Patrick Walemark providing the assist. Poland made three changes on 76 minutes, but the goal they needed never came. Sweden made two changes on 80 minutes and two more on 89 minutes as they saw the game out.
The numbers were close in some areas and not in others. Sweden had 52% of the ball and 515 passes to Poland's 456, but Poland had more shots, 18 to 12, and more on target, 7 to 6. Both sides won 4 corners, Sweden had 6 saves to Poland's 3, and there was little between them in fouls, with 8 and 9. Sweden were booked once and Poland three times.
Daniel Svensson was booked for Sweden in the 19th minute. Poland's cautions went to Tymoteusz Puchacz in the 35th minute, Piotr Zieliński in the 58th, and Robert Lewandowski in second-half stoppage time.
