 | BULGARIA 0-5 SWEDEN |
Bulgaria coach Plamen Markov believes the 5-0 defeat by Sweden was harsh on his side as he praised rival striker Henrik Larsson. "I think it is a great thing for Sweden and football as a whole that he came out of retirement," said Markov.
"But I can also say if he didn't participate the match would have been different.
"It was an even first half - but in the second half Sweden scored twice very quickly and then took control."
