52'

Forsberg is a very intelligent player and a key part of the way Sweden play. The RB Leipzig attacker will need to do more to provide support to Isak as the apex of the attack, though.

51'

DUDA... over the bar! A decent chance for the Slovakian striker who created the space for himself on the edge of the box with some nice footwork, but he lashes over the target.

49'

Larsson swings the corner kick into Lindelof, but Kucka gets his head on the ball to glance away from danger. This is a lot better from Sweden at the start of the second half.

48'

This has been a good start to the second half by Sweden. They have won a couple corner kicks. Can they put Slovakia under some pressure? And can they make it count?

47'

46'

No changes made by either manager at the break. Does that suggest they are both happy with the way things are going? Surely we'll see more from Sweden in this second half?

2nd Half

45'

The second half is under way! It's still 0-0 between Sweden and Slovakia in this Euro 2020 Group E fixture!

45'

HALF TIME: Sweden 0-0 Slovakia. No stoppage time at the end of the half and that reflects just how little action there has been in the opening 45 minutes here. A bit dull...

44'

Hamsik gets under it! The pass was played back to the former Napoli midfielder, but he scoops his effort over the crossbar from 20 yards out. He's not happy about the pass to him.

42'

Well that's something!

41'

Mak is doing his best to make something happen for Slovakia. Sweden are keeping things organised and tight at the back. Will they come out and play in the second half?

40'

Slovakia are currently enjoying their best spell of the match. They have the ball at their feet and are looking for a way through the Swedish backline, which is camped pretty deep.

38'

Kucka gets the shot off! A corner kick delivery bounces around the Swedish penalty area a bit, but Kucka's shot is scuffed and the block is made before it could reach the goal.

37'

Mak does well to win a corner kick under pressure down the left side. He was under pressure from two Swedish defenders, but managed to win a set piece for his side.

36'

Nearly fell for Hamsik! A deflected cross from the right side fell into the path of the former Napoli playmaker, but he couldn't quite control it and the ball runs away for a goal kick.

34'

Indeed, Sweden have also kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven European Championships, including qualifiers. They are a solid defensive unit.

33'

The omens are good for Sweden this afternoon - they are undefeated in their last seven games in the European Championships, including qualifiers. Sweden are tough to break down.

32'

Lindelof was very impressive against Spain. The central defender showed a different side to himself by organising and leading the Swedish defence as they held on for a goalless draw.

31'

It should be noted that Olsson was shown a yellow card moments ago. He'll need to be careful now.
