Stockholm, Oct. 9 (BNA) Alexander Isak cemented his booming fame with a superb individual goal in Sweden’s 3-0 victory over Kosovo that lifted the team within close proximity to Spain in the World Cup qualifiers on Saturday.
The Real Sociedad forward made a pass from the left flank, put the ball into an opponent’s legs, and then fired a shot into the top corner from a distance of 30 metres, according to the Associated Press.
This is added to the goals of Emil Forsberg – from the penalty spot – and substitute Robin Quaison.
Sweden has a Spain handover match, which is not in the playoffs in this international break as they play in the Nations League final.
The teams still have to play each other – in Spain – in Group B before the end of the European qualifiers.
Greece scored two late goals to beat Georgia 2-0 and remain in third place, three points behind Sweden.
Greece and Sweden have three qualifying matches left, the first of which comes on Tuesday when they meet in Stockholm.
