World Cup qualifier round-up:Zlatan Ibrahimovic bundled home the winner to spare Sweden's blushes as they came from a goal down to beat the Faroe Islands 2-1 in a 2014 World Cup Group C qualifier in Torshavn.
The Sweden captain sunk the plucky Faroes on 75 minutes, flicking Pontus Wernbloom’s delicate first-time pass past goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen before firing home.
The fired-up Faroes, playing on their new artificial pitch for the first time, stunned the Swedes on 57 minutes when a weak Jonas Olsson clearance fell to Rogvi Baldvinsson and he scored with a low shot past Andreas Isaksson.
Sweden coach Erik Hamren made an inspired double substitution just after the hour, bringing on Anders Svensson and Alexander Kacaniklic.
The move quickly paid off when Ibrahimovic, limited to speculative shots from distance in the opening half, linked up with Svensson and set up Kacaniklic to equalise.
