"Sweden remain winless in World Cup qualifying, having suffered another shock defeat to Kosovo on Monday. Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres both started in Gothenburg, but the hosts struggled to find their finishing touch in the 1-0 defeat. Fisnik Asllani got the all-important goal in the 32nd minute, poking home after Veldin Hodza had failed to control the ball in the box."
"They are behind Switzerland, who remain top of the group after a 0-0 draw with Slovenia. In a game of very little quality, all three of Switzerland's shots on target came in the 86th minute or later, with none of Miro Muheim, Nico Elvedi or Granit Xhaka able to snatch a late winner. Elsewhere, Slovakia kept on pace with Germany in Group A thanks to a 2-0 win over Luxembourg."
Sweden lost 1-0 to Kosovo in Gothenburg after Fisnik Asllani scored in the 32nd minute, leaving Sweden bottom of Group C on one point and with qualification unlikely. Sweden created chances but failed to convert, with Leon Avdullahu hitting the woodwork and Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres and Roony Bardghji unable to beat Arijanet Muric. Switzerland top Group C after a 0-0 draw with Slovenia. Slovakia beat Luxembourg 2-0 to stay level with Germany on nine points. North Macedonia drew 1-1 with Kazakhstan. Sweden have now lost three consecutive qualifiers without scoring and posted 1.14 xG against Kosovo.
