Both will have the clearest chance to break the tie on the scoreboard, starring four of the five shots on goal the Swedes have had.

The Danish forward would have one of the best chances for the locals with a header from a corner that would end up just past the right post of Falk’s goal.

In the very calm Häcken in the late game and with a Real Madrid almost devoid of any offensive action, except for a few attempts on goal by Ivana and Zornoza, the match ended with the Swedish team classified for the quarterfinals, as White closed in front of 862 spectators (the worst entrance in so far this season) their participation in this Champions League without any success and only one point after a draw against Chelsea on the first day.
