Men Erik Hamrén seemed poised to clinch a draw in the first leg in Lisbon Friday , but they had conceded defeat in the 82nd minute when Cristiano Ronaldo gave the Selecção the scoring the only goal of the meeting.

This means that Sweden will engage in an uphill battle in the second leg to secure his place in Brazil , scoring at least two goals to clinch qualification.
Conversations before the first meeting between the two teams were largely dominated by the duel between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of which would be brighter. However , both players were not at their best level , until the end of the game and intervention Ronaldo.

At 32, the 2014 World Cup could be the last chance for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to appear in the biggest tournament in the world. The striker Paris Saint -Germain is confident. He believes that Sweden can back this handicap if the fans are really behind them.

Hamren should titularize similar to the one that began in the first leg team. Sweden hopes to qualify after missing South Africa in 2010.

Sweden vs Portugal Preview :

One of these stars will be in the World Cup next year in Brazil , but the emphasis should be placed on the collective rather than individuals.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic , the Sweden striker wishes to clarify things. The dam of the 2014 World Cup against Sweden is not only about himself and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The scorers were registered 39 goals between them this season, all competitions, with their respective clubs and are undoubtedly the headliners for the summit meeting between the two nations. The player of the Paris Saint -Germain focuses only on getting a ticket to Brazil in 2014 .
Ibrahimovic is in amazing shape since the beginning of the season and forward 32 years seemed in a good mood before the first leg in Lisbon Friday .
The visitors, who will host Portugal in the second leg on November 19 , will have some confidence they have lost three of their last 15 previous meetings . They will nevertheless motivated to break a series of three successive draws with Selecção .

Ronaldo will be the key for Portugal which will attempt to qualify for his third consecutive World Cup . But Selecção never beat Sweden home despite seven attempts .

The midfielder Miguel Veloso is the only concern for the new coach Paulo Bento. He finished the drive with a pain in his left knee .

Fabio Coentrao (ankle) and Joao Pereira (thigh) were unsure when the team was announced , suddenly William Carvalho will play his first if used

Napoli and Juventus keeping pace

 
       Behind the Roman locomotive, Napoli and Juventus are trying somehow to keep pace . Both teams are placed on the same score of 2-0 with each time , some arbitration decisions that will discuss . Napoli , first , won against Torino thanks to two goals on penalty by Gonzalo Higuaín . Two penalty kicks not really obvious. On the first, foot Mertens is affected in the area , but it seems that the Belgian drags more than anything. The second is even harder. Glik elbow against a volley from close range. The elbow in question is just off of the body and the player would have been difficult to remove . In short, Higuaín did not ask , and has scored his first double in Serie A. The irony is that Naples had not received any peno in Serie A this season. By itself, the victory is deserved , since Partenopei have hardly run risks. In the first half , Higuain has even provided two other occasions he could convert into a goal , and Insignia, after a suicide bomber output Padelli , missed the final blow. The second period is summarized in the intelligent management of the score and forces, with the only Pandev able to shake the Torino defense. Macedonian has also led to the expulsion ( this time justified) Basha end of the game . Not a victory that will be remembered , but a success that enables Naples follow the infernal pace with the Roma .

       Same thing for Juventus . After defeats conceded against Fiorentina and on the lawn of Real Madrid, the Old Lady has recovered , winning against Genoa . Again, an arbitral award will shed (some) of the ink. A decision that brings the first goal Turin . The referee awards a penalty to Juventus for a foul on Asamoah Biondini . The fault is undeniable, but the problem is that it is committed outside the area . No emotional Vidal turns . Well, apart from that, I must say that Juve Genoa literally eaten , especially in the first period . A perfect first period , worthy of the Great Juve , with spectacular action and Vidal conductor versions. The second piece is scored by Turin Tevez, after opportunities to Pirlo and Pogba . 2-0 is almost a flattering score for Genoa at the break. In the second half , Llorente devours the third goal , and Juve , as Napoli, simply manages its advantage. She thinks back to the same three points of the Roma, when the new purpose of Bradley , ten minutes from time , spoils the end of the afternoon at Juventus Stadium. No matter : Juve responded champion and will now attempt to bind with two affordable against Catania and Parma games.
