three years Tuesday to lead Sweden to a 2-0 win over defending champion
Greece at the European Championship.
Ibrahimovic, set up by
strike partner Henrik Larsson, scored in the 67th minute with a
powerful shot from the edge of the penalty box. Greece goalkeeper
Antonis Nikopolidis threw himself to the right and got a finger on the
ball but it sailed into his upper right corner of the goal.
It
was the first time the sturdy Greek defence had been breached in 425
minutes of European Championship play going back to the team's last
group match at the 2004 tournament.
