England and Sweden drew 2-2 in Cologne on Tuesday, 20 June 2006 - a result that sends both teams through to the Round of 16 from Group B.
England's prize for topping the section is to play Ecuador in Stuttgart on 25 June, while Sweden must take on hosts Germany in Munich 24 hours earlier. Sven-Goran Eriksson's team had already secured qualification before this match and they were only denied a third successive win by a 90th-minute Henrik Larsson goal.
England had gone in front on 34 minutes through a spectacular strike from Joe Cole. Marcus Allback headed the Swedes level at 1-1 six minutes into the second half but substitute Steven Gerrard restored England's advantage when he headed in their second on 81 minutes.
England have still not beaten Sweden since 1968 but, as group winners, they will be happier to be facing Ecuador and not Germany in the Round of 16. Sweden's performance in the second half here, however, should give them confidence ahead of their meeting with the hosts.
Squad : 1 Andreas Isaksson - 7 Niclas Alexandersson, 3 Olof Mellberg (K), 4 Teddy Lucic, 5 Erik Edman - 18 Mattias Jonson (21 Christian Wilhelmsson, 54), 6 Tobias Linderoth (19 Daniel Andersson, 90), 16 Kim Källström, 9 Fredrik Ljungberg - 20 Marcus Allbäck (17 Johan Elmander, 74), 11 Henrik Larsson.
