Sweden Upsets France in World Cup Qualifying With Goal From Midcourt With Seconds Left

Sweden defeated France 2-1 in World Cup qualifying on Friday to take the lead in Group A.

With seconds remaining in the match, French goalie Hugo Lloris made the questionable decision to leave his goal and attempt to get the ball up the field for one last attack.

Unfortunately, the ball was intercepted at midfield by Sweden’s Ola Toivonen who took aim at the empty net.
