In Sweden's win over Kosovo, the striker shone and made a wonderful play. 

Sweden won without problems in their visit to Kosovo this Sunday in Pristina, for which they added a second victory in two days played in the qualifying phase for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Ludwig Augustinsson opened the scoring after a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, before that Alexander Isak and Sebastian Larsson, of penal, sentenced the duel. The local was left with ten in the final discount for the second warning to Bernard Berisha. 

The Swedes had beaten Georgia 1-0 on Matchday 1 on Thursday. That game served for Ibrahimovic to return to the national team after he retired from his national team after Euro 2016. Then the charismatic Milan striker gave the goal pass to Viktor Claesson for the Swedish victory and this Sunday he was also the author of the assistance of Sweden's first goal, that of Augustinsson, to put this new victory on track.

The former Barcelona and Juventus, among other great clubs, therefore remain anchored in the 62 goals in his private account with Sweden, now in 118 games played, and he has not yet been able to meet with both after his return. His team will not play any more qualifying matches in this March window, but a friendly against Estonia is scheduled for Wednesday.

For its part, Kosovo will visit Spain on the same day in this Group B. The team led by Luis Enrique suffered to come back and win 2-1 in discount to Georgia. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for the locals, but Ferran Torres put the tie 1-1 and Dani Olmo scored 2-1 in the discount.

"In terms of feelings, it was perhaps the game that I suffered the most from the beginning to the end, but only for the final joy is the film worth it", said the Spanish coach after the game.
