Sweden 0-0 Denmark: Scandinavian stalemate

Group F

	Sweden 0 - 0 Denmark
0		0

Sweden drew 0-0 with Denmark on Saturday to remain top of Euro 2008 Group F qualifying.

The home team had a handful of opportunities to score, most of them in the first half, but Denmark goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen denied striker Johan Elmander and midfielders Christian Wilhelmsson and Kennedy Bakircioglu.

'With the chances we had we deserved to win,' Sweden coach Lars Lagerback told reporters. 'Sorensen made a couple of unbelievable saves.

'We're in a good position (to qualify). It would be a lie to say anything else.'

The draw gave Sweden 19 points from eight matches. Denmark have 11 points from seven.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was in sparkling form, also went close for Sweden with a low shot that went narrowly wide in the 42nd minute.

Ibrahimovic was booked for punching Denmark winger Jesper Gronkjaer in the back in the second half. The yellow card means the Inter Milan striker will be suspended for the next qualifier against Liechtenstein.

'That's unfortunate,' Lagerback said.
