The sweden 3 Wales 0; Chris Coleman's side go down in Stockholm as Gareth Bale comes on as substitute.
Is not even the return of Gareth Bale could prevent Wales from a worrying slump in Sweden.
Real Madrid forward made his first appearance for the Dragons in eight months on the eve of Euro 2016.
But by the time he stepped onto the pitch at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Wales were already two goals down and limping into their first major finals for 58 years.
Wales have now won just one of their last seven games and manager Chris Coleman admits he must spend the week ahead of facing Slovakia in Bordeaux rebuilding belief and confidence within his team.
The coleman said: “We’ve had a little bit of lull in results and [this] performance wasn’t great but you can forget about runs and recent results in that first game in France.
We’ll pick the boys up over the next six days because we’ve got a huge week before the biggest game for Wales since 1958.
I don’t want to see any long faces or anyone being negative. It’s the time for us to remember what we’ve done over the last two years to get to this position, our strengths and our qualities.
You can sense some nerves. That’s normal because we’re in unknown territory. Our lads will be down for the next 24-48 hours because they don't like losing and we know we’re a lot better than that.
