David Villa scored in injury time to give Spain a 2-1 win over Sweden that moved it to the verge of a place in the quarterfinals of the European Championship. The match had looked set to end in a draw after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had equalized following Fernando Torres 15th-minute goal, but a long ball out of defense dropped kindly for Villa and the striker slipped the ball to the left of goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson for his fourth goal of the tournament. The result leaves Spain with six points in Group D, three more than Sweden.
