One goal was all Sweden needed to secure all 3 points in their Group F opener.
Sweden were unbeaten in all their previous meetings with South Korea and thats exactly why I tipped them to win this match.
Granqvist stepped up and calmly slotted the penalty into the bottom right corner capping a confident performance from the Swedes who were never really troubled by South Korea. The performance will no doubt give them confidence ahead of their fixtures with defending world champions Germany, who lost to Mexico yesterday.
