    The Swedish goal sums up this game. Hopeless shot combined with hopeless defending. Finally this game has a heartbeat.

    Sweden 1-0 Switzerland

    This is much better, more urgency from Switzerland.

    Dangerman Xherdan Shaqiri cuts in from the right, but his left-footed shot deflects wide of goal.

    Could have spun in.

    Will: I leave the room for five minutes because I think it’s safe to make a cup of tea, so of course somebody finally scores

    TJ: Sweden score from an attack that started with a free kick in their own half that should have been an attacking throw-in for Switzerland

    Alex: Granit Xhaka has been booked. In other news, the sky is blue and the Earth isn't flat.

    The Swedes spent most of the build-up to this match hinting that they could expose Granit Xhaka's supposedly suspect temperament.

    Now, after that booking, he has to be careful.

    The tempo of the game has speeded up, the noise levels have increased too. We were getting to the point before where the locals were starting to chant 'Russiya'.

    We have a football match on now.

    Albin Ekdal smacks an effort over from 20 yards, while at the other end, full-back Ricardo Rodriguez's well-struck shot is straight down Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen's throat.

    The gap opened up for Emil Forsberg. The ball comes in from the left-hand side and it's just an invitation to shoot. I think the goalkeeper saves it if Manuel Akanji doesn't put his foot in the way because it's right at him.

    Switzerland getting frustrated.

    Midfielder Granit Xhaka into the referee's book for an ugly challenge from behind.

    World Cup 2018: Emil Forsberg deflected effort gives Sweden lead

    Breakthroughhhhh!

    Sweden take the lead.

    They work the ball to Emil Forsberg on the edge of the box, who strikes a low shot.

    It is going to be an easy save for Yann Sommer, but defender Manuel Akanji sticks a foot out and diverts the ball into the roof of his own net.

    You buy a ticket, you win the lottery.

    I really did think we would have a better approach from both sides in the second half, and a better game.

    So far, we haven't.

    Sweden break with speed down the left through Emil Forsberg and the RB Leipzig man is bundled to the turf by Valon Behrami.

    Careful, he is already on a booking.

    A free-kick for the yellow and blue side on the angle of the box.

    Valon Behrami is moaning at the referee, and it should not a booking for that challenge. If it is, the game is over.

    Sweden 0-0 Switzerland

    "One, two, three, four," points referee Damir Skomina.

    Swiss skipper Valon Behrami brings down a Sweden man and gets a yellow card.

    The former Watford man will miss the quarter-finals, should his side get there.

    Some good approach play from Sweden sees midfielder Albin Ekdal receive the ball on the edge of the box.

    Instead of shooting, he elects to roll is backwards to a team-mate.

    Have a go!

    The two sides are threatening to undo all the good work done by the previous sides in this knockout stage.

    Closing in on the hour mark and it ain't going to be a memorable one.
