Match overview
Trinidad and Tobago held Sweden to a 0-0 draw in Dortmund, despite playing the entire second half with ten men after Avery John was sent off just after halftime. Dwight Yorke was named Man of the Match for his leadership in defense.
Trivia
Avery John’s red card was the first of the 2006 World Cup, and he was sent off just after it had been upgraded from yellow-an unusual two-card sequence. Lars Lagerbäck, known for his defensive tactics, led Sweden to the knockout stage.
