Viktor Gyokeres sent Sweden to the 2026 World Cup with a dramatic late winner, securing a 3-2 victory over Poland in their European play-off final.
The Arsenal striker forced the ball over the line after a frantic goalmouth scramble with just two minutes remaining, qualifying Sweden for the finals in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Earlier, Anthony Elanga and Gustaf Lagerbielke had given Sweden the lead twice, before Nicola Zalewski and Karol Swiderski hit back for Poland.
Sweden's return to the World Cup after an eight-year absence comes after they topped Group C1 in the Nations League, while Poland's failure to reach the finals for the first time since 2014 marks a disappointing end to their campaign.
