The final result secured Sweden the second spot in Group F, with 18 points. Spain tops the standings with 23 points, and Romania is third with14 points.
“We scored two goals, they scored zero. We played a really good match, especially in the first half … Overall, it was a very good match for us. I am very pleased,” said associate captain Janne Andersson.
“I got tears in my eyes when there were only two minutes left. We go to the European Championships is one thing, but when all the players worked together – it’s awesome. Incredibly cool.” he finished.
