It was an even match between Sweden and Serbia in one of two meetings between the teams before the upcoming WC on Swedish soil.

Serbia was 19-17 after the first half, and Hampus Wanne was very critical of the team's defensive effort.

- I think it's a joke, he says at half-time.

In the second half, Sweden turned the game around and eventually won 35-34.

- Extremely important.

Sweden does not play a super match.

It's not a good effort in defense, far from good.

I also think there is more to give in counterattacks, says expert Magnus Grahn in SVT's broadcast.

Wingers Hampus Wanne and Lucas Pellas scored seven goals in each half.

Pellas was satisfied with the victory - despite the weaker defensive effort.

- We concede 34 goals, 19 in the first, that's a bit too many.

It was a tough match, and we knew it would be tough.

We started a bit tough, but we have trained hard as well, he says.
