Sweden had several chances to win the game against Switzerland and were good value for their win. However, they were aided for their goal by some very poor defending from Granit Xhaka.
The Arsenal midfielder scored one of the goals of the tournament in the match against Serbia and is a key player for Switzerland. But he was badly at fault for Forsberg's goal.
Xhaka dived into a challenge and ended-up opening space for the Swedish midfielder to dribble into and get his shot away, which deflected into the net. Forsberg's dummy was enough to take Xhaka out of the game.
It was a costly mistake that was completely avoidable, but we perhaps shouldn't be too surprised.
Last season, he stood on the edge of Arsenal's penalty area looking at play unfold as Watford scored a last-minute winner against the Gunners. Xhaka appeared to be scratching his nose as Tom Cleverly scored.
Here's a clip of Sweden's goal:
