2′ FORSBERG SCORES! What a start for Sweden! Poland have multiple attempts to clear the ball, first when Isak nodded it down before Forsberg latches onto it. He takes it around Glik before firing across goal and into the far bottom corner from the left of the box. 1-0 Sweden!
1′ Quaison gets the game underway for Sweden!
The teams are out on the pitch, the national anthems have been sung, and kick-off is just moments away!
Poland have won their final group stage game in both of their last two major tournaments (World Cup and Euros), beating Ukraine at Euro 2016 and Japan at the 2018 World Cup. Failing to win this match would be the first time Poland haven’t won any of their three group games at such a competition since Euro 2012.
Just the one change by Paulo Sousa to Poland’s line-up from the draw with Spain as well and it’s an enforced one. Jakub Moder is suffering with a knee injury, so Krychowiak, who was sent off in the first game, returns to replace him.
Jan Andersson makes just one change to the side that beat Slovakia last time out. Quaison is brought in to partner Isak up front in place of Berg, who drops to the bench.

Sweden’s draw with Spain and win over Slovakia means that they’ve already qualified for the knockout rounds, but their result today will determine where they finish in Group E. They’ll top the group with a win today, but if they lose and the other game is drawn, then the top three will be split by goal difference. If Spain and Slovakia don’t draw, but Sweden lose, they’ll finish third. For Poland, it’s much more straightforward. With just one point on the board, they need to win today to reach the last 16.

4′ Poland look rattled by the early goal and they just can’t keep hold of the ball. Puchacz gives the ball away sloppily this time, but Forsberg can’t sort his feet out quick enough to have another shot when he’s picked out on the edge of the box.
