World Cup 2018: Sweden 1 vs 0 South Korea

Sweden needed a second-half penalty, given after a VAR consultation, to edge past South Korea and move joint top of Group F.

Andreas Granqvist’s VAR-assisted penalty handed Sweden a deserved 1-0 World Cup win over South Korea at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium on Monday.

Substitute Kim Min-woo appeared to have hacked down Viktor Claesson, and, after initially waving away furious appeals from Swedish players, referee Joel Aguilar consulted VAR and eventually pointed to the spot.
