Game is over and the final score is Sweden 1-0 Slovakia. Here is the match report.

Match Report

After a poor first half, the worst 45 minutes of play in the tournament so far, Sweden upped the ante in the second half as Martin Dubravka made a superb stop from Ludwig Augustinsson's header.

Newcastle goalkeeper Dubravka then gave away a penalty, fouling sub Robin Quaison in the box, allowing Forsberg to step up and score (77).

Sweden's four points should be enough to guarantee them a spot in the last 16, while Slovakia, on three points, have work to do ahead of their final Group E clash against Spain.
