Luxembourg 1-0 Sweden with Kolac winning
From the starting value of the two teams, it can be seen that Sweden, ranked 27th in the world, is much higher than Luxembourg, ranked 92nd in the world, but Luxembourg scored the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute thanks to a header from central defender Kolac, and won 1-0 at home.
This is the seventh meeting between the two teams, with Sweden unbeaten with five wins and one draw, so they are now losing to Luxembourg for the first time in their history. Although it was a friendly game, Sweden also produced a strong line-up, with Isak of Newcastle in the Premier League and Elanga of Nottingham Forest, as well as Serie A Atalanta centre-back Sheehan all starting, which made Sweden's eventual defeat even more surprising.
The Luxembourg defensive counter-attack worked. Luxembourg were determined to counter-attack, with just 29 per cent possession and 266 passes, while Sweden had 71 per cent possession and 651 passes.

However, Luxembourg did not fall behind in the number of shots on goal, only one less than Sweden 13 to 14, and the number of shots on target even far exceeded Sweden, leading 7 to 2, so it can be seen that Sweden is despising Luxembourg's strength in this campaign, completely ignoring the complete pressure of the defense, making it easy for Luxembourg to counterattack.
Sweden ended their six-match unbeaten run in all competitions, while Luxembourg ended an eight-match winless run in all competitions. In the other friendly match in the European zone, Haiti won 3-0 against Azerbaijan.
