Four different goal scorers led Sweden to a 6-0 win over San Marino in Malmö Tuesday, moving Sweden to a perfect six points after the first week of Group E play.
Un-retired Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored seven minutes into the match, with Davide Simoncini adding an own goal five minutes later. Pontus Wernbloom added his third goal of qualifying eight minutes before defender Olof Mellberg was shown red, but the numerical disadvantage failed to detour the Swedes. Andreas Granqvist would score early in the second, while Ibrahimovic and Marcus Berg would add late goals to give the hosts the six goal win.
With the Netherlands struggling to replicate Friday’s 5-0 over San Marino against Finland on Tuesday, Sweden looked to be at the top of Group E by the end of the first week’s qualifiers. San Marino, on the other hand, site bottom of Group E with a -11 goal difference.
