Janne Andersson, the Sweden head coach, is pleased to have guided his side to the Round of 16 as Group E winners.
“It’s a fantastic thing we won the group. We won the group at the World Cup and we’re really happy we’ve done it again. I’m happy with the team effort," Andersson said.
"They are warriors. They fought for 90 minutes in this game and I’m really happy with it. They are fantastic players and the way they sacrificed themselves for each other – the team as a whole deserves all the praise they get.
“Now we get a few more days’ rest than we would have done otherwise. It’s a fantastic feeling.”
