Russia lead Sweden 1-0 at half time of their Euro 2016 Group G qualifier thanks to Alexander Kokorin's goal and Sebastian Larsson's missed penalty.

Russia hold a slender one-goal advantage over Group G rivals Sweden at half time of their Euro 2016 qualifier at the Friends Arena this evening.

Alexander Kokorin gave Fabio Capello's side the lead when he cut inside and calmly side footed into the bottom right corner of Andreas Isaksson's goal after 10 minutes.

Sweden, who are without talismanic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, spurned a golden opportunity to draw level when Sebastian Larsson saw his spot kick saved by Igor Akinfeev after Igor Smolinkov had fouled Jimmy Durmaz in the Russian box.

Ola Toivonen then headed over the bar when well placed as Sweden failed to find an equaliser before the break.
