A deflected goal from Emil Forsberg in the second half was enough to earn Sweden a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in their FIFA World Cup round of 16 clash in St. Petersburg.
The Swedes were hoping to reach the last eight of the World Cup for the first time since 1994, while the Swiss hadn't reached the quarter finals since they hosted the tournament in 1954. Both sides had good reason to be confident - the Swiss held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in the group stage, while the Swedes came desperately close to achieving the same feat against holders Germany.
