Match Recap

Sweden opened the UEFA Nations League campaign in style, brushing aside Poland 3-1 behind goals at both ends of the match. Benjamin Nygren needed just eight minutes to get the hosts rolling, and although Sebastian Szymański pulled one back for Poland right before the break, Sweden pulled away in the second half through Yasin Ayari and Viktor Gyökeres, who put the game to bed in the 72nd minute. The result sends Sweden to the top of the table on three points with a perfect record, while Poland sit third after a single point from their opener. It also extends Sweden's dominance in this head-to-head, having won their only recent meeting with their Baltic rivals. With Gyökeres continuing to find the net for club and country, Poland now face a must-win test to keep pace. Watch every strike, including Gyökeres' decisive 72nd-minute finish, in the highlights below.
