Italy lost to Sweden (0-1) on Friday night in the first leg of the World Cup. It will reverse the situation on Monday in the second leg, without Marco Verratti, suspended.
The match: 1-0
There is a life after Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Second, in its qualifying group behind France, Sweden faced Italy on Friday night in the first leg of the World Cup. The Swedes won the first run of a short header (1-0) and made halfway to Russia.
Ibra, the star of Swedish football, followed the victory of her former partners from the stands, surrounded by her two boys. He was able to see a team without complex against Marco Verratti, his ex-teammate at PSG, and his colleagues. In the first period, notably, Sweden took chances from Toivonen (9th) and Forsberg (24th) and Buffon had to make a double rescue in front of Berg and Toivonen (37th). At the same time, only Belotti, on a Darmian centre, disrupted the Swedish defence (6th).
In lack of inspiration, Italy, who will be deprived of Marco Verratti in return - the Parisian was given a yellow card at the 28th - was surprised after the break by the opener of Jakob Johansson whose strike was deviated by Chiellini (61st). "It's fantastic, I put my goal on instinct," said Jakobsson after the match. It's the right timing for my first goal in selection. "
The Nazionale, who did not really be dangerous, also failed on his only real opportunity to return to the score, since the hit of Matteo Darmian hit the post (70), Olsen.
The return match will be held in Milan on Monday, with the requirement for Ventura men to be much more inspired if they do not want to be part of the major nations absent from the world meeting.
Player: Berg, the poison
Marcus Berg was one of the great craftsmen of the second place gleaned by Sweden in group A, that of France. The Swedish striker has scored eight goals in ten matches during qualifying, finishing top scorer on his team. Faced with Italy, Berg did not score but he was a real poison for the defenders of the Nazionale. It is on him that Marco Verratti makes the mistake that brings his yellow card and suspension for the second leg (28th).
At the end of the match, his coach was forced to take him out to preserve him because Berg seemed ready to fight: he violently shoved Chiellini (56) into this area, avoiding a second yellow, before giving a shot of bend to De Rossi in the wake (59th).
