There had been little indication of the fairytale on the evidence of the first-half as Shevchenko, who has been struggling with injury for the past year, looked way off the pace.
It was Shevchenko's counterpart, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who opened the scoring in the 52nd minute, albeit somewhat controversially as a Ukraine player was lying injured but the Swedes played on regardless.
Sweden coach Erik Hamren had every reason to look angry given that his team has England and France to tackle next and they could not afford to lose this game.
