Postmatch editorial

Sweden turned the pre-match edge into points

The decisive turn arrived late when Viktor Gyökeres scored 88' for Sweden.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Poland led Corners 2-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Poland also shaded Possession 33%-67%.
