1-2, 2-3 and four goals by Erling Braut Haaland.
This is how Sweden’s double derby against Norway in the Nations League is summarized.
Blagult’s hope of winning the group is all but gone now.
The same thing happened when Sweden met Norway for the second time in a week.
When I played 54 minutes of the match in Olivull, Norway went 2-0 up and just like last time Erling Braut Haaland He scored with a questionable penalty kick and finished in good standing.
The first goal came after ten minutes, when Haaland came in front of Hjalmar Igdal and headed the ball with his head. The second goal then got a chance to score after a VAR review when the referee ruled that Robin Olsen put Alexander Sorloth into the penalty area.
Emil Forsberg trimmed
Haaland took the penalty and celebrated with his Norwegian side in front of the Swede heel, meaning that teammate Leo Skerry Ostegaard could take the opportunity to make a disdainful gesture against the Swedes in the stands.
After less than an hour of play, national team captain Jan Andersson kicked off Sweden’s start with a three-way change with Anthony Ilanga, Victor Giukreis and Victor Claesson coming in.
A team that hadn’t shot once on target so far in the match started to create goal-scoring opportunities, reducing goals when Dejan Kulusevsky played Emil Forsberg in the penalty area.
Forsberg defended the termination of the class when he hit the ball into the net.
Sweden missed opportunities
However, there was no talk of Norway winning.
After 77 minutes, Gabriel Gudmundsson made a speedy advance, dropping the ball to Erling Braut Haaland, who slotted it into the net.
Haaland then managed to raise the ball to Alexander Sorloth, who nodded 3-1.
Seconds before the end of the match, Victor Giucres cut back after a chaotic situation in the offensive penalty area. But the period that followed was short and Sweden did not have time to get a receipt.
Sweden’s chances of winning the Nations League group are all but dashed now, with Norway leading by seven points with two matches left to play.
