Overview
- Sweden sit bottom of Group B on one point after a 0-1 loss in Solna, leaving them needing two November wins and outside help to stay in contention for 2026.
- Fisnik Asllani struck in the 32nd minute as Kosovo survived a late barrage of corners and shots to seal the upset.
- Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres produced over half of Sweden’s 13 attempts, with Isak taking six shots—including two on target—without scoring.
- Gyokeres managed one shot on target and struggled in duels, extending a goalless run that mirrors a difficult start at Arsenal.
- Both strikers return to Liverpool and Arsenal under heavy scrutiny, with Football365 noting Gyokeres at three goals in 14 and Isak at one in nine across club and country.
