Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Argentina to score. At the same time, Sweden does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Argentina is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Johanna Rytting Kaneryd needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' Olivia Schough was booked on 20.
  • 25' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' Sweden looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Rebecka Blomqvist scoring 1 goals.
  • 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Camila Gomez Ares suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' The supporters are chanting for Daiana Falfan. He replaces Florencia Bonsegundo on 40 minute.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Camila Gomez Ares.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Elin Rubensson. He replaces Caroline Seger on 46 minute.
  • 51' Sweden is showing some good football. However, Sweden are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' The travelling Sweden supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sweden that had 11 games and scored 24 goals.
  • 62' The supporters are chanting for Lina Hurtig. He replaces Olivia Schough on 62 minute.
  • 66' GOAL! Rebecka Blomqvist scores on 66. Assisted by Sofia Jakobsson
  • 71' Dalila Ippolito is replacing Camila Gomez Ares for the Argentina side.
  • 76' Another substitution for Sweden to replace Sofia Jakobsson by Johanna Rytting Kaneryd on 76 minute.
  • 79' Argentina manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yamila Tamara Rodriguez is hanging Mariana Larroquette on the field on 79 minute.
  • 84' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Sweden winning 100% of all matches.
  • 89' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' GOAL! Elin Rubensson scores on 90. Assisted by Rebecka Blomqvist
  • 90' Another change for Sweden made on 90 minute. Madelen Janogy leaves to be changed by Stina Blackstenius.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sweden players.
