Goals from Robert Lewandowski and Piotr Zielinski in the second half turned out to be the difference between the 2 sides.
The Bayern Munich star Lewandowski has now has scored 51 goals in 44 games for club and country this season.
However, the man of the match turned out to be Juventus star goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny.
Although it would be an exaggeration to call the Polish goal bombarded, Sweden had the better opportunities on the night.
But they were foiled at every step by the Polish goalkeeper.
The talking point remains to be Zlatan Ibrahimović late substitution by the Sweden manager.
With the clock ticking away, Sweden's decision to bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic off the bench until they were 2-0 down was a big surprise.
Sweden has now failed to qualify for three of the last four World Cups.
So far 27 teams have qualified for the Qatar World Cup 2022 with only 5 spots remaining.
