ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) - The heir to Zlatan Ibrahimovic finally delivered for Sweden at the World Cup.
Forsberg delivers, Sweden reaches World Cup quarterfinals
Emil Forsberg scored a deflected goal in the 66th minute to give the Swedes a 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Tuesday and a place in the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time in 24 years.
Shy and understated, the 26-year-old Forsberg couldn't be more different than the larger-than-life Ibrahimovic, who ruled the Sweden team for more than a decade and was the greatest player the country ever produced.
