Full-time Sweden 1 South Korea 0 Sweden join Mexico at the top of the table, while Korea joins Germany at the bottom. I would humbly suggest this is now effectively a three-team group, and you can insert your own Germany joke here.
VAR Strikes! Claesson is brought down inside the box and Swedish players appeal for a penalty. VAR intervenes and awards the spot-kick which is dispatched off perfectly by the old warhorse Andreas Granqvist. Sweden lead.
A needless corner given away by Sweden! The Korean goalkeeper wanted to come up for it, but the coach says no. In comes, the ball and the Koreans reckon there may have been a Swedish handball, but the referee isn’t interested at all. Replays show the ball seemed to thud into Granqvist’s head or perhaps chest. Correct decision.
