Euro 2004: Sweden v Denmark ? they said it would not end 2-2 ? but it did | Football | guardian.co.uk
What happened
Jon Dahl Tomasson fired Denmark in front with a superb dipping volley from 20 yards out. Henrik Larsson equalised from the spot after the interval for Sweden but Tomasson restored Denmark's lead with a drilled shot from inside the area. It remained 2-1 to Denmark … until the 88th minute, when Mattias Jonson scored to send Sweden and Denmark through to the last eight and Italy home.
Years after the game the Swedish football magazine Offside published a piece about the game and what was said between the players during the 90 minutes at the Bessa Stadium in Porto. They were said in jest – but it was not easy reading for the Italians.
During the warm-up Erik Edman had asked Daniel Jensen "should we go for 2-2?" to which the Danish defender smiled and said: "Yes, why not?" Edman then said: "OK, you concede first."
During the game Sweden's Anders Andersson shouted "come on, bloody hell, give us a break now" to Denmark's Thomas Gravesen when Sweden were losing 2-1. "Yes, but then you have to at least go forward," said the Danish midfielder, who was dominating the game.
After the final whistle, with the 2-2 result confirmed, the Swedish striker Marcus Allback heard a voice behind him, saying: "Mackan, Mackan." It was Allback's Danish team-mate at Aston Villa, Thomas Sorensen, calling him by his nickname before lifting him up in the air. Allback was horrified and shouted: "Let me go, let me go, this is embarrassing."
