Sweden draw in final warm-up match

SPECIAL REPORT

STOCKHOLM,.Sweden -- Sweden drew 1-1 with Chile in their final warm-up match before the World Cup finals.

Henrik Larsson put the Swedes ahead in the 32nd minute after curling the ball around the Chilean wall in a first half where Sweden made most of the play.

But Humberto Suazo, put through by Jorge Valdiva, equalised in the 51st minute with the Swedish defence still leaden-footed after the restart of the match.

Chile put the Swedes under pressure in the second half, and dominated the midfield, but failed to convert chances.

Sweden, despite the presence of Larsson and fellow European star Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Juventus, created few further goal scoring opportunities.

Sweden are grouped with England, Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago at the World Cup finals. Their first match is against Trinidad and Tobago on June 10.
