Celtic midfielder Benjamin Nygren scored Sweden's opening goal in the eighth minute of their UEFA Nations League match against Poland at Strawberry Arena. Poland equalized through Sebastian Szymanski before halftime, but second-half strikes from Yasin Ayari and Viktor Gyökeres secured a 3-1 victory for Graham Potter's side. The win leaves Sweden top of Nations League B Group 4 with six points from two games.
Nygren's international goal followed comments to Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen, where he stated he avoids reading "stupid comments" amid criticism of Celtic's recent form. Celtic entered the international window on the back of three consecutive defeats, including two losses to Rangers and a 3-1 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros, despite Nygren tallying five goals and six assists this season.
