STOCKHOLM (AP) — Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the orchestrator for Sweden in a 3-0 win over Wales on Sunday in a warmup game for the teams before the European Championship.

The superstar forward set up Emil Forsberg for the opening goal and was a huge influence before being substituted on the hour mark, by which time Sweden was 2-0 up thanks to Mikael Lustig's 57th-minute shot.

John Guidetti added a third goal in the 87th, with Wales struggling to mount any serious attacks in Stockholm before star forward Gareth Bale entered as a substitute in the 64th.
