Sweden defeated Ukraine 3-1 in a playoff match in Valencia. Viktor Gyökeres scored a hat-trick for Sweden. The match was reportedly a playoff final for a spot in the upcoming World Cup.
After the match, Gyökeres celebrated with Swedish supporters and led a chant using a megaphone, though he said he was not entirely comfortable with it. He explained his decision to round the goalkeeper on a penalty situation by saying he saw the goalkeeper was far out and felt it was best to go around him. Assistant coach Sebastian Larsson reportedly praised Gyökeres, saying he had decided it would be his night.
