Sweden 4-2 Bosnia-Herzegovina 29th May 2010

Sweden warmed up for the Euro 2012 qualifiers in September with a 4-2 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina. The game was Erik Hamrén's first as Sweden manager at home since he took over from Lars Lagerback, who is now in charge of Nigeria.
PSV's Ola Toivonen got the ball rolling with the opening goal after 44 minutes with a lovely header. The Bosnian side though showed why they were almost in South Africa for the world cup as Sejad Salihovic scored with a wonderful free-kick on 47 minutes.
Jonas Olsson put Sweden back in front with a tap-in at the far post after 67 minutes before tapping in his 2nd goal with seven minutes remaining. There was time for Ermin Zec to score with a tap-in in added time.
Marcus Berg secured the victory though, two minutes into added time with a well placed shot. Victory for Sweden then as Hamrén's men look towards the Autumn campaign of trying to qualify for Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.
