Sweden advance as the winner of Group F after a 3-0 win over Mexico in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Mexican fans celebrated with Swedes despite their disappointing performance, following Germany’s shock 2-0 defeat against South Korea – as they both leave the tournament with three points each. Sweden won will face the runners-up of Group E (Brazil, Switzerland or Serbia) in last 16, after an unbelievable journey without Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Ludwig Augustinsson fires Swedes ahead from his 50th minute close range, while a penalty concerted by Andreas Granqvist and own goal by Mexico’s Edson Alvarez completed the 3-0 victory at the Ekaterinburg Arena in Yekaterinburg, Russia. It has been an unbelievable journey for Sweden, who are competing at the tournament for the first time since 2006.
