Marlos came on for him in that game but was so off the pace he was withdrawn before full-time. He had finished the season strongly with Ferencvaros and was man of the match in the friendly win against Northern Ireland last month. Ukraine’s campaign had been undermined by the injury to the left-winger Oleksandr Zubkov in the defeat against the Netherlands. Ukraine, having slightly faded, came again with the extra man, but Sweden’s two banks of four seemed resolute as ever, at least until yet another switch of play undid them. Danielsson’s red card changed the dynamic, but both sides looked exhausted and there were countless interruptions as players went down with injury. What had for 90 minutes been a crisp game of no little quality became in extra-time a grim trudge.
