On September 8, 2025, Kosovo stunned Sweden with a 2-0 victory in their FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA match held at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri. Despite Sweden dominating possession with 68.6%, Kosovo proved more clinical in front of goal. Elvis Rexhbecaj opened the scoring in the 26th minute, followed by Vedat Muriqi's goal in the 42nd minute.
Kosovo's compact 5-4-1 formation effectively stifled Sweden's attacking efforts, limiting them to only 4 shots on target despite 13 total shots. Kosovo, utilizing a more direct approach, managed 5 shots on target from their 11 attempts.
The game saw a relatively even distribution of fouls, with Kosovo committing 13 and Sweden 12. Both teams received 3 yellow cards. Lindon Emrllahu received a red card for Kosovo in stoppage time.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Sweden win, which proved incorrect. The AI also did not expect a balanced game, highlighting the unpredictable nature of football, where tactical execution and finishing can override statistical advantages.
Kosovo's victory breaks a pattern of recent results. Prior to this, they suffered a heavy defeat against Switzerland (4-0). However, they have performed well in friendlies and UEFA Nations League. This win demonstrates an ability to step up their game against higher-ranked opponents, but the game against Switzerland does not confirm that.
Sweden's form has been mixed, with a recent draw against Slovenia and a loss against Luxembourg. Sweden had won 3 friendlies before drawing with Slovenia, showing inconsistent form.
Historically, Sweden dominated Kosovo in previous World Cup Qualifiers. Considering the previous games, the Kosovo vs Sweden result is surprising.
Kosovo's defensive solidity and clinical finishing were key to their success. It remains to be seen if Kosovo can carry this momentum into their upcoming matches. Sweden needs to address their attacking efficiency and defensive vulnerabilities based on this game.
