Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Sweden and Italy has kicked off!
- 5' 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.
- 10' Sweden is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' 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.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Sweden is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' 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 Chiara Beccari suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sofia Cantore, as he is very good at scoring at Wellington Regional Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' 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.
- 39' What a strike from Amanda Ilestedt! The score is 1-0.
- 44' Goal! Fridolina Rolfo scores his 4 goal in 11 matches.
- 45' What a strike from Stina Blackstenius! The score is 3-0.
- 50' Goal! Amanda Ilestedt scores his 4 goal in 11 matches.
- 55' 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.
- 59' Time for substitution for Italy. Giulia Dragoni is replaced by Giada Greggi.
- 62' Madelen Janogy has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kosovare Asllani on 62 minute.
- 67' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 71' Italy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Valentina Cernoia is hanging Arianna Caruso on the field on 71 minute.
- 75' The Sweden manager makes a substitution. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd departs to be replaced by Sofia Jakobsson.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 85' Sweden looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Amanda Ilestedt scoring 2 goals.
- 89' Rebecka Blomqvist is replacing Stina Blackstenius for the Sweden side.
