Match overview
In a Scandinavian thriller both sides led and both equalised. Sweden’s late Jonson leveller secured the 2-2 draw that famously eliminated Italy on head-to-head goals scored.
Trivia
The 2-2 scoreline was enough to send both Nordic neighbours through, prompting conspiracy theories in Italy that were never substantiated.
