EURO 2020 Extra time, full time: Sweden 1-2 Ukraine. Not enough added time for Sweden, though! The whistle goes, and Artem Dovbyk has booked a date in Rome on Saturday night with England! Andriy Shevchenko raises both arms in triumph! His team, who looked dead on their feet during a particularly attritional extra time, are full of energy again as they cavort in celebration! Ukraine will play England in the quarter-final in Rome on Saturday night.
Swedish coach Jan Andersson wears the look of a man who has just been mugged, which is understandable given the brutal way his Euros have suddenly ended. A quite sensational cross from the left flank by Oleksandr Zinchenko found Arten Dovbyk’ six yards out.
Dovbyk couldn’t miss. He stooped, he conquered. What a finish! Some way to end this absurdly entertaining Round of 16. Artem Dovbyk netted a last-gasp header in extra time as Ukraine edged out ten-man Sweden at Hampden to set up a Euro 2020 quarter-final with England.
Oleksandr Zinchenko smashed Ukraine in front with a powerful drive but a deflected shot from Emil Forsberg levelled matters before half-time. Sweden lost Marcus Danielson to a red card in extra time after a VAR check. And, with penalties looming, Dovbyk, one of 12 substitutes used, slid in to nod in a dramatic winner.
Ukraine had crept through from the group phase with a mere three points and a negative goal difference, while Sweden topped their section with seven points ahead of Spain. However, the match in Glasgow was an even contest throughout, with both sides battered and bruised and out on their feet by the final whistle.
