BERLIN, June 15: Fredrik Ljungberg scored with a header in the 89th minute on Thursday, giving Sweden a 1-0 win over Paraguay in Group B. Sweden dominated the match and substitute striker Marcus Allback nearly scored another in the 59th minute but Danis Caniza made a flying goal line clearance. It was a frustrating night for Sweden, which was held to a 0-0 draw by Trinidad and Tobago in its opener.
