Sweden emerged victorious in their Women’s World Cup match against Argentina, securing a 2-0 win thanks to Rebecka Blomqvist’s goal. This victory sets up an exciting round-of-16 clash between Sweden and the United States. This is not the first time Sweden has had success against the USWNT; they defeated them 3-0 in the opening match of the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
The match against Argentina was mostly uneventful, with both teams struggling to find the back of the net. However, Blomqvist’s headed goal in the 66th minute broke the deadlock and sealed the win for Sweden. Despite resting nine starters, Sweden showed glimpses of their attacking prowess in the first half. However, their progress was hindered by a lack of cohesion and frequent fouls.
Blomqvist acknowledged the team’s patience and belief in their ability to create scoring opportunities. She expressed their determination to seize the chances when they arise and not let frustration get the better of them. With this win, Sweden concluded their Group G campaign with an undefeated record, outscoring their opponents 9-1. Their group also included Italy and South Africa.
In contrast, the USWNT struggled in the preliminary round, finishing as runners-up to the Netherlands in Group E. They managed a 3-0 victory against Vietnam but faced draws against the Netherlands and Portugal. This upcoming clash between Sweden and the United States promises to be an intense battle.
