GLASGOW (Reuters) - A red card for a moment of madness from Marcus Danielson brought Sweden's Euro 2020 to an abrupt end as they crashed out with a 2-1 defeat in their last-16 match against Ukraine on Tuesday after plotting an almost perfect path through the group stage.

The sending-off of centre back Danielson nine minutes into extra time for a high tackle on Artem Besedin while clearing the ball came just after Sweden went for broke by swapping in three attacking players in a gamble that did not pay off.
