BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Sweden sealed a place in the Euro 2020 finals after goals from Marcus Berg and Robin Quaison secured them a 2-0 win over Romania on Friday.
The result secured second spot in Group F for Sweden with 18 points. Spain, who had sealed a place in the Euro 2020 finals last month, top the standings with 23 points from nine games after thrashing Malta 7-0. Romania are third with 14 points.
Striker Berg put the Swedes ahead, giving home keeper Ciprian Tatarusanu no chance, with his 21st international goal - a trademark header following a cross from Emil Forsberg in the 18th minute.
Midfielder Quaison wrapped up the points with a cool finish 16 minutes later with Berg turning provider.
The visitors continued to dominate proceedings after the break with Albin Ekdal rattling the crossbar with a thundering shot midway through the second half.
Romania, lacking ideas and urgency, failed to create clear-cut chances at the National Arena.
The match was halted for a couple of minutes late in the second half by the match referee after alleged racist chanting from the stands with a public announcement made.
