Sweden has lost 4 consecutive games in the World Cup preliminaries and is at the bottom of the group. It has missed the chance to qualify for the World Cup. After the game, Ilanga was depressed and told the media: "I just want to say sorry to the Swedish people."

When talking about his views on the future of head coach Thomasson, Ilanga said: "I am just a player and I just want to speak on the court. I can't make this decision. It depends on what the people above (the leadership of the Swedish Football Association) say, and the choice is in their hands."

According to Swedish media, in the last 0-2 loss to Switzerland, Ilanga did not come on as a substitute. In this game against Kosovo, Ilanga was replaced in the second half.
