Olise’s magic dismantles Sweden as France march into World Cup quarterfinals
Bayern Munich’s French playmaker delivered a masterclass, three goals and a nation’s dream intact.
France are into the World Cup quarterfinals after a 3-0 demolition of Sweden in the Round of 16, and Michael Olise was the architect of the rout at AT&T Stadium. Olise, the Bayern Munich playmaker, produced a performance that left Sweden’s defense in tatters, scoring twice and assisting the third in a 20-minute first-half blitz that decided the tie. His first, a low drive past a stranded Robin Olsen after a 30-yard surge, arrived in the 12th minute.
