The Swedish team has a solid presentation in the friendly match against Mexico, a squad that is preparing to debut in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The forces of the teams were even, but the European team managed to get ahead on the scoreboard, with a good definition by Marcus Rohden.
The match on the pitch at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in Girona was approaching 54 minutes and the ‘Tri’ left their field with control of the ball. However, Viktor Gyokeres applied good pressure and, after generating a rebound, Mattias Svanberg was assisted by the left flank.
Immediately, the midfielder sped up and dipped a low cross towards the penalty spot, but Gyokeres missed. However, behind everyone, Marcus Rohden appeared, who finished off goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa’s near post. The fans of Mexico present at the sports venue did not hide their concern.
Sweden struck first! Rohden arrived at the far post to make it 1-0 vs. Mexico.

The preview of Mexico vs. Sweden
The Mexican team has everything ready to start its journey in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, in search of having a leading role. This Monday, “Tata” Martino announced his list of 26 called, which is led by Guillermo Ochoa, Andrés Guardado, Henry Martín, Héctor Moreno, Raúl Jiménez and Rogelio Funes Mori. To the surprise of many, Santiago Giménez was left out, like Diego Lainez. The Argentine coach’s decision has been widely criticized and the team will be under scrutiny in this match.
For its part, the Swedish team arrives beaten, since it did not have a good performance in the UEFA Nations League and ended up in last place in its group, being condemned to relegation. In search of improvement, coach Janne Andersson appeals to strengthen her squad, giving prominence to Anthony Elanga and Dejan Kulusevski.
