The second half began just like the first, with Sweden looking the most likely team to score.
Ola Toivonen struck an effort over the bar after the ball was cleverly worked forward by Forsberg, who wove his way past three opponents near the halfway line.
Sweden finally got their reward just after the hour mark. Forsberg received Toivonen's cross from the left and thumped a shot that took a sharp deflection off Akanji's right leg and flew into the top corner, leaving Sommer with no chance.
Ekdal then blasted over from distance after turning smartly past Granit Xhaka.
Breel Embolo came on for Steven Zuber in the 73rd minute and the Schalke forward provided an immediate spark, showing a willingness to run at Sweden's back four.
But the Swedes defended resolutely and had Olsen to thank in the first minute of stoppage time for acrobatically keeping out a bullet header from Haris Seferovic after Ricardo Rodriguez's cross from the left.
There was drama in the last minute of stoppage time as Sweden substitute Martin Olssen went down inside the box after being pushed by Lang when clear on goal.
Referee Damir Skomina referred the incident to the video assistant referee, who correctly ruled that contact was made just outside the box. But Lang was sent off as Olssen was the last man.
Toivonen's curling effort from the resultant set piece was then saved by Sommer with the last kick of the match.
