Euro 2020: Spain, Sweden locked in goalless draw
Álvaro Morata had Spain's best chance just a few minutes before Isak but his shot missed wide with goalkeeper Robin Olsen the only opponent to beat.
Seville: The chances came and went but neither Spain nor Sweden managed to put any of them in the net.
Spain dominated possession and kept the pressure on the opposing area for most of the match but the Swedes held on for a 0-0 draw Monday at the European Championship.
Sweden managed only a few chances at La Cartuja Stadium, but they were some of the most dangerous ones.
Alexander Isak, who plays for Spanish club Real Sociedad, had a shot from inside the area hit the post after deflecting off Spain defender Marcos Llorente in front of the goal line.
Early in the second half, Marcus Berg was inside the area with the ball coming his way, but he mishit his shot.
Álvaro Morata had Spain’s best chance just a few minutes before Isak but his shot missed wide with goalkeeper Robin Olsen the only opponent to beat.
“Everyone can make mistakes, we all make them,” Spain midfielder Pedri González said about Morata, who was booed by part of the Spanish fans. “He works hard for the team and that always shows on the field.” Morata had already missed some chances and been jeered in Spain’s final warm-up match against Portugal, also a 0-0 draw.
