Sweden won its last match in Group E and advances to the eight finals from first place. Poland, on the other hand, is out of the tournament after a 2:3 loss, gaining only one point and finishing last.

The goal came from the first chance of the match. Emil Forsberg’s ground shot gave Wojciech Szczesny no chance.

In the 17th minute, Robert Lewandowski had the equaliser, but only hit the crossbar and also hit the top post from the rebound.

For the rest of the first half, the Poles were slightly more active, but totally inaccurate in the final stages. Piotr Zielinski took a dangerous shot, but Robin Olsen saved it. The Swedes went into the box with a 1: 0 scoreline.

Immediately after the change of sides Zielinski shot again, Olsen was successful this time. The active Poles wanted to equalise, but even a shot by Grzegorz Krychowiak did not stop the Everton goalkeeper.

Sweden only needed one chance. Emil Forsberg again hit the bottom corner from a volley in the 57th minute and Poland’s chances dropped to zero. A spark of hope was snuffed out four minutes later when Lewandowski swept a beautiful shot off the right post.

And in the 84th minute Lewandowski equalised. He was well positioned in the penalty area and fired past Olsen. The Poles put everything on the line at the end and scored once more. Viktor Claeson’s goal from the set-up secured the Swedes first place in the group.
