Sweden gets benefit of VAR review, beat S. Korea 1-0

Sweden got the break it needed from the video review system, and team captain Andreas Granqvist didn't waste the chance. Granqvist slid his penalty kick into the bottom right corner of the net in the 65th minute to give Sweden a 1-0 victory over South Korea on Monday (Jun 18) at the World Cup.

Sweden won their first World Cup game for 12 years by beating South Korea thanks to a penalty from captain Andreas Granqvist that was awarded via video assistant referee (VAR) review.

Kim Min-woo's foul on Viktor Claesson was analysed on video before the referee gave a penalty and Granqvist then sent Cho Hyun-woo the wrong way.

Sweden, who join Mexico at the top of Group F on three points, created the better chances in Nizhny Novgorod.

South Korea had no shots on target.
