Sweden defeated Denmark 2-1 in the first leg of a 2016 European Championship playoff on Saturday and Nicolai Joergensen's late goal gave the Danes hope for the return match next week.
Emil Forsberg scored for Sweden in the first half and Zlatan Ibrahimovic made it 2-0 on a penalty kick at the start of the second.
Denmark struggled to create any clear chances until Jakob Poulsen headed a corner toward the far post where Joergensen slotted home in the 80th minute.
The result means a 1-0 win in Copenhagen on Tuesday would see the Danes through.
Ibrahimovic, who scored eight goals in qualifying, downplayed the significance of the Danish goal. "We won the game, that was the most important," he said.
Friends Arena in Solna was lit up in blue, white, and red to show solidarity with France following the terror attacks in Paris. Both teams wore black armbands and observed a minute of silence before the match.
Sweden took the lead near halftime. Breaking free on the right flank, Mikael lustig sent a low cross into the area where an unmarked Forsberg scored with a direct hit.
Ibrahimovic made no mistake from the penalty spot after Thomas Kahlenberg tripped Forsberg inside the area five minutes after the break.
Boosted by Joergensen's goal, Denmark pushed forward in the final minutes but couldn't find the equaliser.
Ukraine beat Slovenia 2-0
lviv: Ukraine took a large stride toward qualifying for the European Championship next year by beating Slovenia 2-0.
Ukraine dominated in front of a passionate home crowd as Slovenia failed to register a single shot on target.
Yarmolenko tormented Slovenia on the right flank, and got his reward with the opening goal late in the first half, collecting the ball inside the box and dummying away from two defenders before shooting past goalkeeper Samir Hamdanovic.
Yevhen Seleznyov doubled the lead soon after halftime with a simple finish at the far post to a perfect Artyom Fedetskiy cross.
Selezynov could easily have scored a third 15 minutes later but his low shot hit the post and was hooked away.
