Sweden and Mexico both qualified for the round of 16 at the World Cup after the Swedes won 3-0 in their Group F match on Wednesday.
Ludwig Augustinsson fired Sweden ahead five minutes after the break when a Viktor Claesson mis-hit inadvertently found him free at the far post, before Andreas Granqvist smashed in a penalty 12 minutes later following a Hector Moreno trip on Marcus Berg.
The referee did not call for a VAR review despite Mexican protests.
Mexico's Alvarez piled more misery on his team after scoring an own goal to gift a 3-0 lead to Sweden which eventually turned out to be the final scoreline in the match. Elsewhere in the other group match, Germany succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Korea Republic and both the teams were ousted from the world cup after failing to secure the top two spots in the table.
But without an improvement on this performance they risk falling once again at the stage where they have been knocked out in the last six World Cups.
Left-back Ludwig Augustinsson took advantage of a miscued shot from Forseberg to score an important goal for his team.
Sweden started off the second half on a brighter note as they shot themselves into the lead in the five minutes after the restart.
