The game went into extra time after a 1-1 draw and Dovbyk shot the winner in the 121st minute.

Ukraine will now face England in Rome.

The Three Lions advanced after a 2-0 win over Germany earlier on Tuesday.

Oleksandr Zinchenko opened the scoring for Ukraine after a great cross from Andriy Yarmolenko, who missed a great chance to extend the lead for his side before Sweden equalized shortly before the break.

Forsberg then hit the post twice in the second half, while Ukraine also saw Serhiy Sydorchuk stopped by the woodwork.

Sweden were down to 10 men in the first half of extra-time after Marcus Danielson saw a red card.
