Viktor Gyökeres scored a hat-trick to lead Sweden to a 3-1 victory over Ukraine, despite not scoring for his national team since 2024. Until Thursday, Gyökeres had not found the net, and Sweden had not won during a poor group stage. Sweden will face Poland after 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski scored a crucial header in a 2-1 win over Albania, keeping the Barcelona striker's dream of playing in a third World Cup alive.
