Sweden 1-2 Spain
Cool, turning bleak with Arctic winds
Yes, it’s a cruel game. After 90 minutes, 1-1 was a fair representation of how Sweden’s workmanlike efficiency had tempered Spain’s rather over-casual passing finesse. But it only takes one injury-time goal to change all that.
Greece 0-1 Russia
Mild with brief but inconsequential storms
Weak Greeks, Russians not much better, but shading it on attacking flair. The tournament is probably better without either team.
