Sebastian Larsson missed a glorious opportunity

A dross game finally burst into life midway through the second half, as Sweden earned themselves a glorious opportunity to take the lead against the resilient Italians. A delightful cross from Martin Olsson from the left was whipped in across the box.

Sunderland striker Seb Larsson managed to get in between the Italian defence, but somehow failed to get a stud onto the ball. It then fell to Zlatan, who – almost unbelievably – skied his shot over the crossbar from 6 yards out.

He was flagged offside, so the goal wouldn’t have counted. But surely he should be hitting the target at least.
