Sweden needed a second-half penalty, given after a VAR consultation, to edge past South Korea and move joint top of Group F.

Andreas Granqvist's VAR-assisted penalty handed Sweden a deserved 1-0 World Cup win over South Korea at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium on Monday.

The win takes Janne Andersson's side joint top in Group F with Mexico after their shock win over reigning champions Germany.
