Live commentary

  1. 90:00 +4:03Danny Makkelie is looking at his watch and immediately ends this match.
  2. 90:00 +3:46Mattias Svanberg (Sweden) collects a great pass inside the box and misses a sitter. His shot was directed towards the right post, but the goalkeeper pulls off a marvellous diving save and denies him.
  3. 90:00 +2:32Benjamin Nygren (Sweden) tries to find Besfort Zeneli with a clever through ball from the corner of the box, but the defence is alert to the danger and makes a clearance.
  4. 90:00 +1:24Jean-Philippe Mateta (France) gets to the ball in the penalty box and immediately fires a first-time effort. He didn't hit the ball properly and skies it high over the crossbar.
  5. 90:00The fourth official shows 4 min. of added time.
  6. 89:16The current number of corner kicks is 9:1. Fouls committed – 11:10.
  7. 89:00The referee signals that it is time for a substitution and Gustaf Nilsson (Sweden) comes onto the pitch so that Alexander Isak can be given a rest.
  8. 88:31Viktor Gyökeres (Sweden) wastes a great scoring opportunity! He latches on to a precise pass and fires a decent first-time shot towards the bottom right corner from a promising distance, but Mike Maignan denies him.
  9. 87:12The linesman signals that Bradley Barcola (France) is offside and the referee confirms the decision.
  10. 85:57The ball flies way wide of the left post as Mattias Svanberg (Sweden) produces an imprecise volley strike from long distance.
  11. 85:27Anthony Elanga (Sweden) sends a lofted cross into the penalty area. Unfortunately for him, the opponent's defence deals with his cross comfortably and intercepts it.
  12. 84:40Didier Deschamps has decided to introduce fresh legs, with Rayan Cherki (France) replacing Michael Olise.
  13. 84:34Substitution. Jean-Philippe Mateta (France) on for Kylian Mbappe.
  14. 83:45Michael Olise (France) did his best to latch on to a crossfield pass, but it was too long and it goes out of play.
  15. 81:59Michael Olise (France) takes the corner kick and sends the ball among a huddle of players inside the penalty area, but one of the defenders clears it to safety.

Preview

France have shown in the group stages they're the clear favourites to win their third World Cup after scoring 10 goals in the on their way to winning all three matches.

The French have lost just one game in 90 minutes - a group stage defeat to Tunisia four years ago - since the 2014 tournament and should reach the last-16 with minimal fuss.

Sweden were unable to build on their thumping win over Tunisia in their group opener and just about snuck through after drawing with Japan.

The Scandinavian outfit have firepower in attack, notably Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, but they will need more than just those two if they want to get past France.
