MATCH 22 REPORT : SHARE OF SPOILS SUFFICIENT

Denmark face Czech Republic
It was the result Italy had dreaded the most and ensured that Sweden finished top courtesy of goals scored between the three sides as they all finish level on five points. Denmark now face the Czech Republic on Sunday, Sweden the Group D runners-up the day before.

New-look midfield
Sweden lined up with an unfamiliar look to their midfield, as three of the four players who started against Italy missed out. SL Benfica's Anders Andersson was a surprise choice to replace the suspended Tobias Linderoth, while Jonson came in for Christian Wilhelmsson on the right, Fredrik Ljungberg continued on the left, and Kim Källström made his first start behind front-two Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson.

Grønkjær starts
Denmark made one change, with winger Jesper Grønkjær earning a starting role after impressing as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Bulgaria. Daniel Jensen kept his place in midfield alongside Thomas Gravesen, while Martin Jørgensen lined up on the left and Tomasson played a withdrawn role behind centre forward Ebbe Sand.
