Sweden beat Switzerland 1-0 to reach the World Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday, with a deflected Emil Forsberg effort proving the difference between the two sides. The match in Saint Petersburg was a tight encounter of few chances but Forsberg's shot in the 66th minute took a deflection off Manuel Akanji, leaving goalkeeper Yann Sommer stranded.
Sweden will meet either England or Colombia in the last eight. The World Cup last-16 match between Sweden and Switzerland was goalless at half-time in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday, after a low-key opening 45 minutes. The Scandinavians had the better of the first-half chances, but striker Marcus Berg blazed off target when well-placed before seeing Swiss keeper Yann Sommer turn his low shot around the post.
