France and Sweden faced off in the Round of 32 of the World Cup at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. The match ended in a goalless draw, with France entering as clear favorites given Sweden's recent decline in performance. France's William Saliba returned to the starting lineup after recovering from an injury, while coach Didier Deschamps made lineup changes including Bradley Barcola and Adrien Rabiot over other options. Sweden started with Anthony Elanga, Alexander Isak, and Viktor Claesson leading the attack, although Isak was missing from central defense due to injury. The Dutch referee Danny Makkelie officiated the game. Following the match, the winner will face Paraguay, who caused a major upset by eliminating Germany, in the Round of 16 in Philadelphia. The game featured cautious play, with few clear chances, and both teams struggled to break the deadlock throughout the first half and beyond.
