Switzerland–Iceland ended in a draw.
It is a dream result for Sweden.
Now the Swedish national team can possibly avoid Denmark in the semi-finals.
Sweden has tomorrow’s opponent, Switzerland, to thank.
The nation’s match against current group ten Iceland ended 38–38.
It was even all the way apart from a small Swiss surge with three goals. The final minutes were dramatic, with, among other things, two Swiss expulsions, and Iceland managed to recover from the deficit.
Can win the group
For Sweden, the draw means a dream chance. Now the road to group victory became “much” easier. Wins in the last two matches, Hungary tonight and Switzerland tomorrow, means that the Swedish national team wins group 2.
It could possibly mean avoiding Denmark in the semi-finals. If the Danes win against Norway tomorrow, they will be the best in group 1.
The group winners thus meet the group runners-up in the semi-finals, which are played in Herning, Denmark.
Denmark are already ready for the semi-finals. Germany and France play a decisive match to see who goes through to the playoffs from Group 1.
