Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist is adamant that an incident involving one of their scouts 'spying' at a South Korea training camp was "blown out of proportion".

Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist has claimed that an incident involving one of their scouts 'spying' at a South Korea training camp was "blown out of proportion".

Media reports from the Scandinavian nation claimed this week that Lasse Jacobsson spied on Sweden's World Cup Group F rivals during their closed training session in Austria.

Jacobsson was alleged to have watched the Taeguk Warriors from the roof of the house that he had rented for that purpose.

Sweden head coach Janne Andersson has since apologized for the misunderstanding and said that Jacobsson did not know that the training session was closed.

Much had been made of the incident ahead of the World Cup opener between the two sides on Monday, which Sweden won 1-0 thanks to Granqvist's penalty.

"I think this has been blown out of proportion," the 33-year-old told reporters. "The person monitoring South Korea for us by accident, during one training session, was possibly hiding.

"It's been focused on too much. It was a good game out there, an honest fight between two good teams.

"I think we showed an excellent attitude out on the pitch. We are a team with fight. We run on behalf of each other. I am incredibly proud of all the lads and now we focus on the next match against Germany."

Sweden will take on Germany and Mexico on June 23 and June 27 respectively.
