Zlatan's streak comes to an end

STOCKHOLM - Zlatan Ibrahimovic's unbroken 10-year run as Sweden's best player came to an end on Monday when FC Krasnodar defender Andreas Granqvist won the country's Golden Ball for 2017.

Ibrahimovic, who retired from international soccer after a disappointing Swedish showing at Euro 2016, dominated the award from 2007-16 and took it 11 times overall.

No other player has won it more than twice.
