The Swedish national team has suffered a setback in World Cup qualifying. When Bosnia and Herzegovina won against Qatar 3-1, Sweden fell behind in the standings.
What happened?
Bosnia and Herzegovina took the lead after just five minutes when Kerim Alajbegovic scored 1-0. A Qatari own goal doubled the lead and Bosnia and Herzegovina won 3-1 in the end.
Why is it important for Sweden?
Sweden had hoped for a draw in the match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar, but now Bosnia and Herzegovina has passed Sweden in the standings. Sweden must now win against Japan to advance as group runners-up.
What's next?
Sweden meets Japan in the next match and a win would mean that Sweden advances as group runners-up. But if Sweden loses or draws, they will be in a points and goal difference battle against the other group thirds.
