The mixed zone is almost bursting
The team captain did it again, with a record-breaking quick goal
Twenty-seven seconds! The quickest Swedish competition goal in a hundred years.
Did you know that?
No, I didn't, but I know now. Feels good to break that record as well.
But the most important thing is that we won the game. We got an early goal.
Usually, the game gets into a slower pace after a goal like that, and it did.
It wasn't a super game, but we won, and an early goal opens the game. They're good at closing surfaces in a home game.
No team has had easy games here, when they've come here.
Reporter: Was it like you expected? Both Ireland and Austria had super tough games here.
Yes it was. It's a good nation, they're good at football, but we get an early goal. We had some other good chances
- where we could have scored, but we didn't. Most important thing is that we won.
Reporter: What are your feelings now that you leave for home? Six points in two important games.
Feels good. Very good. Six points in ten days. The group looks different now. This is what we wanted.
Now we're here, so ... next match will decide it. In Sweden. Against Austria. If we do well --
-- we can at least look forwad to playoffs.
Reporter: What does it mean for the team strength that it will be two home games coming up, Austria and Germany?
Good! Very good! We needed a win here, our confidence is growing.
We played with greater confidence today. Very good. The victory today. Next nationals, we'll be safer.
Reporter: So now Sweden's dream is playoffs, in November.
Yes, that what we hope. Next game is important. We're at our home arena, so ... we're looking forward to it.
Another reporter: There was pressure on you before these nationals, what did you get out to handle it?
We've done fewer mistakes than earlier. In these to games, we've done one mistake, and that's when Ireland scored.
After that, we did no more mistakes. We've been more stable. Good, very good.
When you win, it's a different thing. You get confidence, the team shines.
We dare more. We don't get into situations where we don't dare.
Reporter: You've scored quite a few times in nationals this last year. How come, how did you come unstuck?
Don't know ... sometimes you score, sometimes you don't.
We had a period when there were few goals, now there are more.
I try to stay focused when we get a chance, so I score when I can.
Today I could've scored two or three.
Reporter: Looking forward to the final qualifiers against Austria and Germany?
A lot! But now I have a few games with my club before I get back to the national team.
Third reporter: Describe the goal!
It was fast. I think Albin gets the ball, walls it, gets it back, gets it to me, I use my left, and it hits the post going in.
27 seconds.
Reporter: How important was it to you? You've said you're trying to break records.
Another record today. That's good.
Reporter: Not bad for a kid from Rosengård.
Not at all, no. So I feel good about that.
