GLASGOW, United Kingdom (Reuters) - The timing of the substitutions made by Sweden boss Janne Andersson has played a huge part in his side making it to the last 16 at Euro 2020 where they will face Ukraine on Tuesday, but at least one fan hasn't been happy - his wife Ulrika.

Andersson introduced Robin Quaison in the 1-0 win over Slovakia and he promptly won the penalty that decided the game in Sweden's favour. He put on Dejan Kulusevski against Poland who created two goals in a 3-2 win, including the late winner for Viktor Claesson. But Mrs. Andersson hasn't been impressed.
