Goteborg, Sweden (My Sportsbook) - Kim Kallstrom scored the sole goal to lead Sweden over the United States, 1-0, in an international friendly at Ullevi Stadium.

The U.S. Men's National Team, which will play Brazil next on September 9, suffered only its second loss of 2007 (10-2-3).

After a scoreless first half, Kallstrom found the back of the net in the 56th minute. He ran to a loose ball outside of the box, made one touch and fired it inside the right post from 19 yards out.

Landon Donovan, who is tied with Eric Wynalda for most U.S. goals ever, was held to one shot on goal, keeping him away from the record-breaking number 35.

Brain Ching was a late scratch from Bob Bradley's starting lineup due to a left calf strain.

Carlos Bocanegra earned his 50th cap in this game, but also picked up a yellow card in the 45th minute.

This was the fifth all-time meeting on the pitch between these two countries, and Sweden now leads the series, 3-2-0.

Sweden used this match as preparation for its 2008 European qualifying tournament. The team holds first place in Group F, three points ahead of Spain.

The world rankings came out earlier on Wednesday with the United States slotted in the 17th spot and Sweden two positions behind it.
