Deflected Forsberg effort gives Sweden lead
Emil Forsberg's deflected strike saw Sweden into the World Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Switzerland.
Swiss defender Manuel Akanji stuck out a foot to divert the ball into the roof of his own net as goalkeeper Yann Sommer could only stand and watch.
Switzerland's Michael Lang was sent off for a late challenge on Martin Olsson but a VAR decision decided against awarding a penalty.
Sweden will play either England or Colombia in the last eight.
In a feisty affair full of missed chances, Andreas Granqvist cleared Breel Embolo's header late on and substitute Remo Freuler had a header saved in stoppage time as Switzerland sought a leveller.
Sweden, who last progressed beyond the second stage in 1994, came close on several occasions and should have taken the lead in the first half when Albin Ekdal blazed his volley over the bar.
Switzerland's Blerim Dzemaili had done the same at the other end moments before, while there were further chances for Sweden's Marcus Berg and Switzerland trio Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Steven Zuber.
Disappointingly for the Swedes, Celtic defender Mikael Lustig picked up a second yellow card, meaning he will miss the quarter-final.
