Benjamin Nygren Shines with Goals in Sweden's Win Over Hungary

Germany and the Netherlands have been here without winning. It is very strong that we have won, says Nygren. Superstars Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres' absence opened up a new chance for the striker. As he took it in Budapest. Two goals in three international matches make the 23-year-old the team's player of the spring season. Now the family and the girlfriend were sitting on the stands in the Hungarian capital. "Really cool" Really cool. My family and my girlfriend, they are my biggest supporters. They mean everything. That is the most important thing that exists. I saw them during the national anthem and they started cheering loudly, says Nygren. One of the national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson's ideas in the match plan was to work with a defensive line in a lower starting position. During the first minutes of the match, it created an organizational chaos. Roland Sallai had to take three shots. Two saved by Robin Olsen. One ball sent by the Hungarian high over. He touched his forehead. Something probably a few more did, but with Swedish sympathies. Olsen soon shone again, when he pushed away the long shot from Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai. Behind Olsen, the black-clad Hungarian supporters in the infamous Carpathian Brigade jumped up excitedly in time. But they could not celebrate. "Pricked the ribbon" Sweden got order on the lines and the Jondahl principles in the end. Offensively? Nothing happened for a long time, then everything. On Hugo Larsson's elegant lift in the deep, Anthony Elanga pricked the ribbon. Elanga, on the spot, ran to a new situation on Yasin Ayari's pass, but shot wide of the goal. Nygren's big moment came four minutes after the break. Hjalmar Ekdal, the center back who had lingered, masked the pass diagonally inward. Nygren received it in stride and screwed in the opening goal into Dénes Dibusz's far corner. A class goal that will not escape clubs that want to sign the striker from Nordsjælland. Ayari's 2-0 was a gift, a mistake by Dibusz. Elanga was denied a goal in the end for offside. On Tuesday, Algeria awaits on the Strawberry Arena in Solna, in the last international match before the autumn's World Championship qualification, which starts with away matches against Slovenia and Kosovo in September. Will Benjamin Nygren be there? "Really cool" Really cool. My family and my girlfriend, they are my biggest supporters. They mean everything. That is the most important thing that exists. I saw them during the national anthem and they started cheering loudly, says Nygren. I will do my best to play every time and help the team. I want to play all the matches, of course, says the 23-year-old.
