Sweden beat Slovenia 2-0 in Ljubljana on Thursday thanks to a penalty from Emil Forsberg

in the first half and a fantastic solo goal from Dejan Kulusevski. Sweden got off to a good

start, with Alexander Isak hitting the post with an early header. After a foul on Viktor

Claesson, Forsberg calmly converted a penalty kick to give the Swedes the lead in the 39th

minute.

On the hour mark, Kulusevski came close to extending the lead, cutting in through the

middle and curling a shot past Jan Oblak, who made a superb one-handed stop to tip the

ball away for a corner. After breaking away solitary on a counterattack in the 88th minute,

the Tottenham player managed to deceive the Atlético goalkeeper to secure win for the

Swedes ahead of their home game against Norway on Sunday. Slovenia is planning a trip to

Serbia.
