France 4-2 Sweden: Coman condemns visitors to relegation
SMA News – UEFA Nations League
Sweden pushed for an equaliser to retain their League A status and were caught out by Kingsley Coman in a 4-2 win for France.
Kingsley Coman wrapped up a 4-2 win for France in the Nations League on Tuesday as he punished a Sweden side who were chasing an equaliser to retain League A status.
Sweden sent goalkeeper Robin Olsen up for a late free-kick as they tried to salvage a draw that would have relegated Croatia, who lost 3-2 to Portugal, but Dejan Kulusevski’s delivery was cleared and Coman slotted into the empty net on the break.
Viktor Claesson had put the visitors in front at the Stade de France inside four minutes, but Olivier Giroud equalised before Benjamin Pavard turned the game around in the 36th minute.
Substitute Kylian Mbappe teed up another for Giroud just 70 seconds into his return from injury, before Coman killed the game with the final kick after Robin Quaison’s 88th-minute strike gave Sweden hope.
