Forsberg upstages Ibra in win

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Three talking points from the Friends Arena as Sweden come away 2-1 winners from the first leg of their Euro 2016 play-off against Denmark.

One attacker undoubtedly dominated Sweden's most important moments in their home win, but it wasn't the man many presumed would decide the tie. In key phases of the contest, winger Emil Forsberg stepped up, scoring the opening goal and assisting the second by drawing a penalty, in a performance that could go a long way towards settling the overall score.
