"Johansson: 'Just forget and put it in the garage'"

Sweden lost 2-0 to 2-2 against Slovakia. The Slovakian reduction was caused by a mistake from goalkeeper Viktor Johansson. It's just to forget directly, he says.

Johansson messed up in the build-up and gave the ball away to Slovakia in the penalty area. He could then save the first shot before having to concede on the rebound, which David Strelec slotted in.

Afterwards, Johansson explained what happened:

It takes a deflection on the heel and goes straight to him. Then we try to fight it off, but it doesn't quite work out. It's clear that it's really disappointing, says Johansson to Viaplay.

He continues:

It's just got to be forgotten right away. Anything can happen on a football pitch. It's a pass I make a thousand times out of a thousand. But now it went wrong, so it's just got to be forgotten and put away in the garage and never open that garage again, he says.

Sweden played really well at times in the match and had chances for even more goals. Johansson was therefore not entirely satisfied with the result.

I'm disappointed, above all. It's a match we have control of after 43 minutes. Then it gets messy, to be honest. They get an incredible energy boost at the start of the second half, he says.

Sweden's Nations League matches continue with a game on Monday. Then Estonia awaits on away ground.
