‘Perennial bridesmaids’: Swedish major drought continues

Spain has hands down dominated this clash. Possession is 62-38 in their favour, and since Paralluelo came on they’ve been injected with a fresh agression.

They just had their best chance of the match – the cross came in but it couldn’t be controlled.

But the ball bounced around and Alba Redondo from the ground came millimetres away from putting it in the back of the net.

She’s subbed off shortly after.

It’s another sellout in this Women’s World Cup – 43,217 have packed into Eden Park.
