But Svensson’s record only lasted for a day. Because when the USA faced Switzerland, forward Abbey Murphy scored after seven seconds. Afterwards, the American was satisfied:
— It’s pretty cool. A good way to start the match, said Murphy according to SVT.
The United States won the match by a crushing 9–1 and took their second straight victory in the championship. Japan was defeated in the premiere with 7–1.
In the same group as Sweden, Hungary and France met. Hungary, who face the Women’s Crowns on Saturday, won the match 4-2.
