The Swedish team took a big step in their group qualification has they defeated Slovakia 1-0 courtesy a 2nd half penalty from Emil Forsberg.
The game proved tough team held on for over an hour until late in the 2nd half when a penalty was awarded after Slovakia goal keeper Martin Dubravka brought down Robin Quaison.
Leipzig midfielder wasted no time has he converted from the spot to send ensure they bagged the needed 3 points and in the process ended Slovakia 6 game winning streak.
Sweden now sit second in group E with 3 points pending when the Poland take on Spain. For Sweden to be guaranteed of passage, they will have to defeat Poland in their last group game which takes place next Wednesday.

The team definitely deserved the victory. But the issue i have with them is their ability to continue in a winning form.
Congrats to Sweden.
Yeah. Well deserved. Think they have problems with scoring has their first game ended scoreless and today via a penalty. Today win might however have given them a little confidence going forward
After the goaless 90 minutes in their first group match against Spain,they came out today knowing fully well that a victory against the solvakia will help them in securing their progress into the next stage and definitely they lift up to that expectation by edging out the sloviaka national team by a lone gaol.
Yeah. They showed they really needed this match as they went all in. Great their efforts was rewarded at the end.
Now they have one more task of securing qualification. Hope they get the much needed result against Poland come Wednesday next week
