Euro 2020: Incisive Alexander Isak Stands Out with His Silky Skills Among Workmanlike Swedish Teammates

News 18  

Sweden’s industrious approach to their first two Euro 2020 games may not have got anyone’s pulse racing, but thanks to a rock-solid defence and the threat posed by Alexander Isak they have now racked up four points and two clean sheets. UEFA EURO 2020: FULL COVERAGE | Points Table | Schedule | Results Isak has all the ingredients his strike partner Marcus Berg seems to be lacking at Euro 2020: electrifying pace and a bag of tricks that enabled his side to gain the upper hand in the final third of the match against Slovakia. With four points in the bag, Sweden must now fancy their chances of reaching the knockout stage at the Euros for the first time since 2004, having made three successive group stage exits since then. A win would have seen Slovakia through to the business end of a major tournament for the third time after they advanced to the last 16 in the 2010 World Cup and the 2016 Euros, their only two previous involvements on the big stage as an independent nation.
