In Sweden, Martin Olsson played 90 minutes in the 1-1 friendly draw with Slovakia, while Kristoffer Nordfeldt came on for the second half of the game.

Joel Asoro played 76 minutes for Sweden Under-21s as they were beaten 3-0 by their Belgian counterparts.

It was a better night for Wales’s under-21 side, who beat Switzerland 3-1.
