Sweden takes the lead in the bronze medal match

The penalty was awarded after a VAR check, after Stina Blackstenius fell in a duel with Australia’s Clare Hunt. The replays showed Hunt kicking Blackstenius on the heel.

In the moment immediately after, Sweden was still taking the lead, when Rolfö nodded Kosovare Asllani’s cross into the crossbar.

Sweden has dominated possession at Brisbane Stadium so far. Already after 55 seconds, Stina Blackstenius was close to making it 1-0, after fine preparatory work by Kosovare Asllani. But Mackenzie Arnold stretched and saved the shot against the far post.
