Sweden was given an easier task when Cristiano Ronaldo was forced to give up the match due to a positive corona test.
But that was not enough for Sweden to be close to taking the first point in the Nations League.
Portugal took the lead fairly after 20 minutes.
Portugal won the ball a bit outside the Swedish penalty area, and after that it went fast.
Some Swedish chances
Diogo Jota and Bernardo Silva got very large areas in the Swedish penalty area where Silva after a side pass passed nicely at the left post.
After that, Sweden stepped up a bit, and created a couple of chances.
But it never got really dangerous.
Instead of an equalizer, a cold shower came at the end of the half.
Joao Cancelo hit that from around 35 yards out and Diogo Jota and couldn't do anything about, dipping and swerving, it did him all ends up.
This was not the only time Jota would offer sweets.
In the 72nd, he rolled up the Swedish defense in total and was able to set his second goal alone, which was also the last goal of the match.
