Frozen out in Sweden: Azerbaijan suffers heavy defeat and faces relegation - VIDEO

In a chilly night in Sweden, the Azerbaijan national football team endured a crushing defeat in their final UEFA Nations League group stage match.

As reported by Idman.biz, Fernando Santos's squad faced off against Sweden in the last match of League C's Group 1.

Already confirmed to finish at the bottom of the group, Azerbaijan succumbed to a heavy 6-0 loss. Struggling against the freezing Swedish conditions, the team conceded three goals in each half. Viktor Gyökeres was the standout performer, netting four times, while Dejan Kulusevski added two more.

This disappointing result officially relegates Azerbaijan to League D.
