Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni was content to bank a point after his side held Sweden to a goalless draw in their World Cup qualifier in Stockholm.
Sweden coach Erik Hamren said: "We are still an inexperienced team. Some of the players have not much experience as a team. "Maybe that is why it is like this. The first half against Germany was not good either. "We knew it was an important game for everyone but maybe that is one reason we didn't come up with the quality we wanted. But we were playing a team who are really good away. "If you know the statistics, they haven't lost away in two qualifications."
