Unbeaten Portugal

Andre Silva gave Portugal the lead in the first half but Arkadiusz Milik equalized for Poland by converting a 66th-minute penalty

The European champions played a man down after conceding the equalizer as Danilo was sent off for the foul that prompted the penalty.

Portugal, which played all of its matches without Cristiano Ronaldo, had already secured its Final Four berth with a draw at Italy last week.

"We are candidates to win the tournament for sure, but maybe not favorites," Portugal goalkeeper Beto said. "We'll have the luxury of having our fans with us."

Sweden promoted

Russia missed a chance to gain promotion to League A despite entering the match against Sweden with a three-point lead in its group.

The hosts earned the comfortable win with a goal by Victor Lindelof in the first half and another by Marcus Berg in the second.

"It's great that we were able to showcase how we can play here at home," Sweden coach Janne Andersson said. "I am immensely pleased with what we have achieved in this competition."
