Sweden 1-1 Spain: Rodrigo late goal sends Spain to Euro 2020, De Gea off injured

  /  R47

Rodrigo Moreno came off the bench to snatch a last-gasp 1-1 draw in Sweden and confirm Spain's place at Euro 2020.

Match Event

Inspired saves from Robin Olsen and an injury to their own goalkeeper, David de Gea, added up to what was starting to look like a wretched outing at the Friends Arena for Robert Moreno's men.

But Rodrigo, who was dropped to the bench as his coach made six changes to the XI held by Norway last time out, reacted sharply to prod in from close range.

Sweden rode out an early storm to hit the front through Marcus Berg in the 50th minute and still have their fate in their own hands ahead of pivotal trip to Romania next month.

33' What a save from De Gea

What a save De Gea! Sweden work the ball out to Lustig on the right, he has time to measure an inch-perfect cross from deep into Quaison. The forward does everything right, his header is flying into the top-right corner but De Gea flies across to tip it over.

50' GOAL! Sweden 1-0 Spain (Berg)

GOAL! 1-0 SWEDEN, BERG! There's more brilliance from De Gea to keep out Berg and then Larsson from point-blank range after Quaison's cross from the left, but Berg is on hand to nod in from a yard out with De Gea still down. 

59' Injured De Gea replaced by Kepa

A worrying moment for Spain now as De Gea is down needing treatment. Kepa is getting his gloves on. Not entirely sure what happened there.

92' GOAL! Sweden 1-1 Spain (Rodrigo)

GOAL! SPAIN ARE LEVEL, IT'S RODRIGO OFF THE BENCH! That looks like the goal that takes Spain to the Euros, he stabs home from close range after a cross/shot from Fabian!
