Sweden dominated play for much of the match but had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Portugal in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic nearly grabbed a late winner for Sweden in the 78th minute when he fired a left-foot drive from just outside the box, but Portugal goalkeeper Quim got his gloves on the ball and tipped it out.
