Second half penalty
The 34-year-old striker converted a second half penalty after Emil Forsberg had scored his first international goal on the stroke of half-time as the Swedes seemed to be coasting to victory. But substitute Nicolai Jorgensen grabbed an away-goal lifeline for Denmark 10 minutes from time ahead of the second leg in Copenhagen on Tuesday.
