Sweden played home the planned victory in the Faroe Islands and defeated the small 108-ranked archipelago by 4-0 in the European Championship qualifiers. On the windblown artificial turf in Torshamn, there was a player who shone extra bright.
Alexander Isak was for the first time in Janne Andersson's starting eleven and really showed that he deserved that spot.
After 12 minutes played, Mikael Lustig made a great effort at breaking through on the right wing, putting the ball in at the right post. Three minutes later it was time again, when the 19-year-old talent got a deep pass from Sebastian Larsson and beautifully scored 2-0 to blue-yellow.
- Wonderful that we have got a real super-goal shooter in the national team! comments on SVT's expert Daniel Nannskog.
And in fact, Alexander Isak was not the only one on target humor.
Before the first half was over, the figures shone a 4-0 lead to Sweden, after a bouncing goal by backstar Victor Nilsson Lindelöf and a well-placed shot inside the far post by already recognized sharp EM qualifier Robin Quasion.
The Faroe Islands, which, given the number of inhabitants of 51,000 inhabitants, have an impressively strong football tradition, never really entered the game. The second half continued in blue-yellow dominance - but a continued goal scale failed. The match in 10 plus degrees in the Faroe Islands ended 4-0 to Sweden and now Norway is waiting for Sunday at home at Friends.
