-
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Sweden is hosting USA for another epic battle.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Amanda Ilestedt has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Megan Rapinoe made 4 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' USA is showing some good football. However, USA are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 40' It looks surprising Sweden does not make any changes. Stina Blackstenius has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' Sweden started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
- 49' It’s a booking for Sweden player. Kosovare Asllani gets a card.
- 54' Emily Sonnett needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 59' 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 Jonna Andersson suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' Sweden is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 66' Time for substitution for USA. Trinity Rodman is replaced by Lynn Williams.
- 71' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sweden needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering USA that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
- 81' Another substitution for Sweden to replace Johanna Rytting Kaneryd by Lina Hurtig on 81 minute.
- 86' Sweden seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- With this win, Sweden is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
