CLAESSON SCORES! Sweden's initial corner is cleared by Laporte and Koke, but Kulusevski recycles it down the left. He fizzes the ball into Claesson and after taking a touch to get it out of his feet, he drills a low shot past Simon at his near post. 2-1 Sweden!

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the European World Cup Qualifier between Sweden and Spain at the Friends Arena!
After a Euro 2020 campaign in which Spain made it all the way to the semi-final, they're now looking to qualify for next year's World Cup. They're sitting top of Group B, having gone unbeaten in their three games so far with wins over Georgia and Kosovo after an opening match draw with Greece. They face a Sweden side who narrowly missed out on a quarter-final spot to Ukraine at the Euros, and who have won their opening two qualifiers, beating Georgia and Kosovo to sit second behind today's opponents.
SWEDEN STARTING XI (4-4-2): Robin Olsen; Emil Krafth, Filip Helander, Victor Lindelof, Ludwig Augustinsson; Viktor Claesson, Kristoffer Olsson, Albin Ekdal, Emil Forsberg; Dejan Kulusevski, Alexander Isak.
SWEDEN SUBS: Jens Cajuste, Martin Olsson, Mattias Svanberg, Jesper Karlsson, Joakim Nilsson, Pontus Dahlberg, Jordan Larsson, Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Isaac Thelin, Robin Quaison, Mattias Johansson, Ken Sema.

The teams are out on the pitch, the national anthems have been sung, and kick-off is just moments away!
Sweden maintain their perfect start to qualifying, making it three wins out of three, to go above Spain to the top of Group B. Next up for them is a friendly against Uzbekistan. Spain lose their first World Cup qualifier since 1993 and slip down to second place. Luis Enrique will be hoping they can get back to winning ways against Georgia on Sunday.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Spain, as expected, have dominated possession, but haven't created too many clear cut chances after their first goal. None of their forward players have been able to affect the game too much, and Luis Enrique will need to find a way to get them involved. As for Sweden, they've looked dangerous on the break and Andersson will be hoping they can take those chances when they come back out for the second half.
