Sweden 1-1 Spain: Report, Ratings & Reaction as La Roja Book Euro 2020 Spot With Dramatic Draw

Spain booked their place at next year's European Championships with a dramatic 1-1 draw against Sweden at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, as Rodrigo netted a late leveller to ensure La Roja secured a point.

Robert Moreno's men started on the front foot, with Thiago Alcantara squandering a glorious chance to give his side the opening goal after just eight minutes. The midfielder found himself one-on-one with Robin Olsen, but his attempt to walk the ball into the net were thwarted. Spain continued to probe, with Rodri and Gerard Moreno both testing the goalkeeper.

However, Sweden began to grow into the game, with their first notable chance falling to Robin Quaison, but his header was expertly tipped away by David de Gea.
