STOCKHOLM: Sweden coasted to a 2-0 win over a defensively-minded Finland thanks to a Robin Quaison goal and a second-half penalty from captain Sebastian Larsson in a Euro 2020 warm-up on Saturday. Quaison gave Sweden the lead in the 23rd minute by slotting home a pass from Mattias Svanberg and Larsson got the second from the spot in the 58th after Marcus Berg was brought down. Going behind had no obvious effect on Finland's tactical approach as they remained compact, trying to play the ball out from the back and hitting Sweden on the break. Overall I'm pretty happy," Sweden boss Janne Andersson told broadcaster TV4. Sweden open their Euro 2020 Group E campaign against Spain on June 14 before taking on Slovakia and Poland, while Finland kick off their tournament against Denmark on June 12, followed by meetings with Russia and Belgium in Group B.
