Sat 06 Jun 2006Podolski double sees hosts advanceGermany 2 Sweden 0: Lukas Podolski struck twice in the first 12 minutes today as hosts Germany swept into the World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over 10-man Sweden.The 21-year-old striker scored after four minutes with a deflected drive and then again eight minutes later with a precise finish from a clever pass by Miroslav Klose as the three-times champions took masterful control.    Germany, performing with great power and belief and backed by extraordinary support, will meet Argentina or Mexico in the last eight in Berlin on Friday.   Sweden were out-fought and, for spells, out-thought. They had a man sent off and Henrik Larsson missed a second-half penalty on an afternoon they will wish to forget.    Stunned by the Germans' high-tempo opening spell, they were reduced to 10 men after 35 minutes when central defender Teddy Lucic was sent off.    The luckless Lucic, who with partner Olof Mellberg struggled to contain the movement and interchanges of Klose and Podolski, was dismissed for two yellow cards in eight minutes for fouls on Klose.    Sweden scrapped their way back into the game before the interval when Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with a low shot on the turn from eight metres, forced an athletic low save from Jens Lehmann.
