LONDON (AP) ― Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic highlighted the opening game at Friends Arena outside Stockholm with four goals, including a spectacular bicycle kick in a 4-2 victory over England.

Ibrahimovic’s one-man show overshadowed two high-profile matches between fierce European rivals, with the Netherlands and Germany drawing 0-0, and France coming from behind to beat Italy 2-1.

The prolific Lionel Messi was kept scoreless as Argentina was held 0-0 in Saudi Arabia while Portugal, missing the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, surprisingly drew 2-2 in Gabon.
