Sweden took a seventh-minute lead after Asoro was afforded too much space in the box and flighted in a header past Rangers goalkeeper Robby Mccrorie, who is on loan at Morton.
Scotland drew level on the half hour mark when a free-kick from Jordan Holsgrove caused panic in the Swedish box and Maguire, the Mother- well defender on loan at Queen of the South, poked home from close range.

Substitute Fraser Hornby and Mikey Johnston came close to another equaliser after the break, but Sweden held on.
