"Alexander Isak was an unused substitute as Sweden were denied by Zan Vipotnik's last-gasp equaliser in Friday's 2-2 World Cup qualifying draw in Slovenia. The superstar striker has not featured this season after a protracted transfer saga that eventually saw him depart Newcastle United for Premier League champions Liverpool in a £125million deal on deadline day."
"Yasin Ayari restored the visitors' lead in the 73rd minute and that looked to be enough until Vipotnik rescued a point in the final minute of normal time, to leave the teams level after their opening Group B game. Elsewhere, Andrej Kramaric was on target as Croatia could only muster a 1-0 victory over minnows Faroe Islands, for a win that maintains their 100% record in Group L."
Sweden and Slovenia drew 2-2 in Ljubljana after Zan Vipotnik scored a last-minute equaliser. Alexander Isak remained an unused substitute after his protracted transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool for £125million. Anthony Elanga opened the scoring in the 18th minute and Sandi Lovric equalised before Yasin Ayari restored Sweden's lead in the 73rd minute. Croatia beat the Faroe Islands 1-0 with Andrej Kramaric's goal, keeping a 100% record in Group L while still trailing Czechia by three points with two games in hand. Scotland held Denmark to a 0-0 draw, and Greece thrashed Belarus 5-1. Croatia registered 26 shots with eight on target and have won five consecutive World Cup qualifiers. Slovenia have scored in five straight qualifiers, their longest run since 2009–2016.
