Sweden defeated Greece at home 2-0 after goals from Emil Forsberg and Alexander Isak.
But after the match, goal scorer Forsberg wanted to pay tribute to a somewhat more anonymous helper.
Namely one of the ball callers.
- She was good.
She helped us knit a little on the corners.
It was important, it was a good effort, says Forsberg after the match.
As a reward, the ball caller received a shirt from Forsberg.
When Sweden met Greece in Athens during the last gathering, both players and the national team captain were critical of the masking from the Greeks.
Forsberg thought Sweden could catch up a bit today.
- The Greeks had also behaved in a way that was brutal.
So then we also wanted to do it.
Not to be ugly though, we led so I did not need the ball so fast
