Good evening and welcome to live coverage of the Euro 2020 clash between Spain and Sweden in Group E.

Sweden haven’t been great in this half, but sitting deep and frustrating is quite clearly the plan. It’s risky, but when you’ve got somebody like Isak in attack then you’ve always got a chance.

Oh my word! Isak is all on his own and it’s virtually the first time he’s touched the ball, but he feints and weaves and finds some space for a shot in the box and sees his effort deflect off the covering defender and onto the post. That is so close to an opener for Sweden, and brilliant by Isak.

It’s almost a gift for Spain as Danielson misreads a cross and allows Morata clean through on goal. He’s got time and is well-placed, but curls his effort around the keeper and wide of the post. Should be 1-0.

But Spain deal with the whipped delivery well, and a foul by Ekdal on the edge of the box relieves the pressure.

A very rare foray forward from Sweden results in a corner as a deep cross is turned behind. These are the chances they’re waiting for…

Again Spain pour forward and Sweden are cut apart all too easily. It’s complete dominance from the home side, although they will be slightly concerned that their control of the game isn’t reflected on the scoreboard.

Koke can’t quite sort himself out a low cross finds him totally unmarked in the box. He blazes over from the penalty spot with the chance, and sinks into the net in disappointment. That was a great chance.

Luis Enrique is sat on a cool box. Bit odd, you’re not Bielsa mate.

Morata gets duped into making a foul as he tracks back and Sweden have some all-too-brief respite before the waves of Spanish passes start again.

Oof, Koke goes extremely close to scoring his first ever goal for Spain, slicing a shot wide of the far post as the ball breaks fortuitously to him in the box.

Here we go. Sweden work the ball forward and have a throw-in. That normally wouldn’t be a noteworthy moment, but everyone comes forward and it’s clear that the tactic is to bomb a long throw into the box. It doesn’t come to anything on this occasion, but the gameplan has been clearly laid out.

Sweden have barely got out of their own half so far, it’s been a chastening opening 20 minutes.

Another brilliant cross is scrambled behind by Sweden, they are on the ropes here.

That should be 1-0. A brilliant cross picks out Olmo in the box, but Olsen makes a stunning save.

Spain continue to dominate and Olmo draws a foul in a dangerous area inside the Sweden half.

There are two pretty outstanding club grounds in Seville, but instead this game is being held at the Estadio de La Cartuja, with its running track and frankly poor set-up for football. The original decision was probably due to the larger capacity, but with reduced Covid numbers it does seem a little odd.

Sweden clear the corner, but only as far as Olmo, who fires an effort a bit wildly over the bar.

Alba whips a dangerous ball across the box after getting played in down the left, but it’s turned behind for a corner.

Spain aren’t the possession-dominating team of old, but they can still keep the ball and that’s been the pattern of the opening stages.
