GLASGOW(Reuters) - Tournament fortunes often turn on individual moments of magic or folly and Sweden’s exit from the European Championship on Tuesday was down to the latter.

Just as the Netherlands authored their own demise against the Czech Republic when Matthijs de Ligt handled the ball in Budapest on Sunday, so Sweden bought their own early ticket home some 48 hours later.

Yet, Ukraine will travel to Rome to meet England on Saturday while the more exciting and enterprising Swedes head home. Having come from a goal down to equalise before halftime and then seen two efforts from goalscorer Emil Forsberg rattle the woodwork in the second half, they set about finishing off the opposition in extra time.

Yet suddenly down to 10 men, and having to replace the banished centre back, they abandoned their attacking plans and took the decision to hold out for a shootout.Ukraine were surprisingly timid in taking on a weakened opponent until Artem Dovbyk, who had just come on, headed home from close range right at the end.
