Overview

• Fisnik Asllani scored in the 32nd minute in Göteborg to give Kosovo a 1-0 win that keeps Sweden bottom with one point from four matches and two games remaining.
• Kosovo, coached by Franco Foda, strengthened its bid for a first-ever World Cup appearance with the away victory.
• Sweden’s vaunted attack misfired again as Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres stayed goalless in qualifying, with the team scoreless for a third straight match despite a 12-0 corner advantage.
• Home fans booed and some displayed an insulting banner toward Jon Dahl Tomasson, while pundits including Fredrik Ljungberg and Lothar Matthäus castigated the performance.
• SvFF football director Kim Källström reiterated trust in Tomasson and said no contact has been made with other coaches, as Sweden now depends on a conditional Nations League playoff route.
