First Published: Aug 15, 2001

Sweden powered past South Africa to win 3-0 in Stockholm.

Glasgow Celtic striker Henrik Larsson scored with a fifth minute penalty when Marcus Allback was fouled in the area and the pair of Swedish strikers then combined for a neat goal as Larsson weaved into position to cross for Allback to tap in.

Substitute Andreas Andersson headed in a Larsson cross from the left late in the second half.
