Rodrigo Secures Euro 2020 Qualification for Spain with Late Equaliser vs. Sweden

Rodrigo's 92nd-minute equaliser sent Spain to UEFA Euro 2020, after La Roja came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against Sweden in a qualifier in Group F at the Friends Arena in Stockholm on Tuesday night.

Marcus Berg's 50th-minute goal looked like enough for the hosts on a night when Spain lost Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea to injury in the second half. However, the visitors got the breakthrough they needed when Valencia frontman Rodrigo met a corner from Fabian Ruiz in stoppage time.
