WATCH: Portugal Edges Italy; Turkey Stuns Sweden With Comeback in Nations League

World Cup quarterfinalist Sweden was well on its way to three points in the Nations League, but it wasn't anticipating Emre Akbaba's late brace.

The Turkish substitute scored in the 88th and 92nd minutes, giving his side a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Sweden and an impressive response after a tournament-opening loss to Russia last week.

Sweden appeared in command, after Isaac Thelin and Viktor Claesson's goals on either side of halftime.

Hakan Calhanoglu got the comeback started two minutes after Claesson's 49th-minute strike with a wicked low drive, setting the stage for Akbaba's late heroics.
