Two goals from Ukrainian icon Andrei Shevchenko secured the points for Oleg Blokhin’s side after Sweden’s captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic put the visitors ahead at the capital’s Olympic Stadium.
Ukraine went top of Group D after a 2-1 victory over Sweden in front of delirious home fans in Kiev, after England and France could only draw 1-1 in their opener in Donetsk.
Sweden coach Erik Hamren had made Ukraine the favourites before the match because of the home advantage but Blokhin cannot have dreamed of such a start, after poor pre-tournament form and a bout of food poisoning that struck down the squad.
