Clinical Sweden beat Australia to clinch 3rd place

The Swedes pick up their Women’s World Cup bronze medal after beating the co-hosts 2-0.

BRISBANE: Sweden picked up their fourth Women’s World Cup bronze medal today after beating co-hosts Australia 2-0 in the third-place playoff match.

The Swedes, ranked third in the world, were awarded a penalty in the 28th minute after a VAR review showed Australia’s Clare Hunt clipped Stina Blackstenius’ heels, and Fridolina Rolfo slotted home the resulting spotkick. Sweden captain Kosovare Asllani doubled their lead just after the hour mark, rifling a sweet strike from the edge of the penalty area beyond goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold following another quick counter-attack.

While disappointed to sign off at the World Cup with another defeat, the Matildas still achieved their best result at the tournament having never previously gone beyond the quarterfinal stage.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
