We seriously doubt that someone has missed it but anyways – England became the 3rd team to reach 2018 World Cup semifinals. Three Lions did well to stop Sweden in the Last 8 clash by scoring two unanswered goals. In the first half Sweden did well at the back by blocking not-so-creative English attacks but also failed to make their actions in front quite handsome. On 40th minute Harry Maguire headed in the opener for England after Ashley Young’s nice cross. Soon after the break Dele Alli added one more as he capped delightful team attack with a vicious header. Sweden had very few chances to equalize both goals during the game but all their attempts was denied by English goalkeeper Jordan Pickford who performed admirably to keep the clean sheet for his side. Final score – 2:0.
