Gustav Svensson starts for Sweden in friendly loss to Chile

Seattle Sounders midfielder Gustav Svensson earned his 11th cap for Sweden on Saturday when he started and went the full 90 minutes in a 2-1 friendly loss against Chile in Solna, Sweden.

Arturo Vidal opened the scoring for the visitors in the 22nd minute before Ola Toivonen equalized a minute later. Marcos Bolados found the game-winner for Chile in the 90th minute.

Svensson had a resurgence with the Blågult last year, appearing in four World Cup Qualifying matches, including a substitute appearance against Italy that sent Sweden to the World Cup.
