World Cup 2018: Andersson delighted Sweden controlled South Korea win

Sweden manager Janne Andersson believes his side were in control for the majority of Monday's win over South Korea.

Andreas Granqvist's 65th minute penalty, which was awarded after a VAR review, was enough for Sweden to take up equal top position in Group F.

The South Koreans had a couple of good chances to equalise, but Andersson's men held on in the end.

Speaking to reporters after the match, the 55-year-old was pleased with his side's performance.

"We've been in control of the game apart in the first ten minutes," said Andersson.

"As a whole there was a good test of my players."
