End of an Era- USA Crushed 3-0 by Sweden No One Saw This Coming!

Jakobsson is out wide and here she is, Dunne comes to meet her once more, the cross is there and it's in! Sweden have scored, all the pressure eventually pays off. Sweden have the opening goal. You have to say, that was coming. Sweden down the right-hand side with Jakobsson again, getting space but glass with the overlapping run. The quarter-finals, the winner of the group, so both teams with a lot to play for. Any doubt that they can mix it with the best in the world and along with. So it's got all the ingredients, let's see how it bakes in the heat of Tokyo has almost made its way to the back post. But the United States deal with it, well sort of deal with it, and the shot, well it's a scuffed one. It's in the lead up here and the United States defense wasn't sure who to mark, where to go and Black goes. And now it's Aslani again and she cuts it back at an opportunity. The movement in the box through midfield and then Aslani getting forward, she's so creative, knows how to pick out a pass. So that corner for Sweden, five minutes on the clock and another opportunity to put a bit of pressure on the United States. Takes it short and it's Aslani, so much comes through her, the ball towards the far post. But it was a very clever run to the back post. The most sympathetic of passes and then she's pressurized and away comes Sweden once more and there's a real opportunity here. It's Sweden that are asking all this area and in midfield and it's allowing back. Jakobsen continues the run, she's trying to get around the back and almost there, that's terrific defending from Dunn. And Dunn had to be so alert. Again the United States pushing players with the chance, fantastic last-ditch defending though. Counterattack and when you've got Jakobsen and Aslani combining two teammates. And picks out, press and presses away and the cross will come and the opportunity is there. And press, well done, but no power in the header. It was at her mercy, but she cooked home and heat and heat and opens up and that is a stinger of a shot. More of that is what Endonowski will be beaten. Rolfo and almost. Terrific save, really good. Rolfo did extremely well to get this shot in. And that one is a mistake from Dunn to let the Swedes in. And the opportunity is missed somehow. This is a bad miss in the end. It's a real let off for the United States backstage. To the rest of her defense. Fielder, Sager, Aslani, Jakobsen. Lovely pass from press and almost. And a glass is saved forward. And here she goes once more, another cross into the box. Takes it on, drags it back and another shot on goal. It's carried away by a corner and again pressure. Rolfo, great run through the middle. The save made, goal shot. There has been the staff of the United States. Jakobsen is out wide and here she is. Dunn comes to meet her once more. The cross is there and it's in. Sweden have scored. All the pressure eventually pays off. Sweden have the opening goal. You have to say that was coming. Sweden down the right hand side with Jakobsen again. Getting space, but glass with the overlapping run. Superb run at the near post by Blackstenius. A fantastic cross for Jakobsen. Now the United States are immediately trying to get back into this one. And it's back there once again. The Swedish defense for the first time really. Offside in the build up here. The referee press and Morgan have the ball in the opposition or near the opposition. And it's there for Aslani. And there's Jakobsen coming through. Jakobsen, here's an opportunity again. But once by Dunn, just caught out. Jakobsen saw the space in the middle. Aslani played it through. In came the defender to do her job and didn't she do it well. But the United States are having trouble through the middle. Jakobsen with the cross. And this one is going to find it's all the way out to a Swedish player again. There, just saw it late, but did so well. Because you could see Delkemper wasn't sure where that shot from Andersen. She hits it with the outside of the foot. Gives it that curl. Here comes O'Hara in the United States. And she's away. And O'Hara has a little look up to see what's on. And wasn't forward. Here's that run here from O'Hara again. And a good cross. And that one's floated. And another opportunity. And Sweden are in once more. Blackstenius have kept this within the U.S. reach. Because Blackstenius, well, it goes to Press. And Press has got two in front of her. But still finds time to get the cross in. And almost. And then, well, the opportunity there. Ball back in from the United States. Opportunity is there. It's off the post from the head. On here and away with it goes Rolfo. And the defense back offer, which was an invitation to shoot. And, well, it was a terrific goal to nil. And they go in search of more. And that one is off the post. And it will be another one. It's Blackstenius again. And Sweden celebrates. The corner caused chaos. Blackstenius latches on. And Sweden lead it by two. As a striker, you're told, go to the back post when the corner swings in. And that's exactly what Blackstenius did. It's come off the post. And she was perfectly placed to put that away. I'm not sure if there will be a look at the offside from VAR after this. Maybe for the United States to produce attack of their own. And can they answer straight back? Ball pulled back. And Blackstenius at the turn. And it was a terrific intervention over the top. And maybe an opportunity for the U.S. to get in. And on to it comes Lloyd. And around the corner. But what brilliant play to stand her ground and make sure that Kali. Bjorn to get back. Just got her foot up in time. Some fresh legs. Yeah, Lena, I think Juventus player is making that performance. Extraordinary game for Blackstenius. A couple of goals. Rapinoe wants more. And this one, a race between three. That's won by the goalkeeper. Rapinoe with the run in behind. And into the box she goes. She has a look up to see if anything is on. Lindahl had to be awake. Tried to get it in on for Sweden. And it's there for Jakobsen. And I think maybe out of nothing. And here they come once more. And the U.S. are stretched. And that is magnificent. Hertig, the substitute, has made it three. And Sweden are in dreamland. Brilliant move from Sweden. The overlapping run. Megan Rapinoe doesn't get back. And that gives Klaus plenty of time to pick out Hertig. Who scored a header against the United States. And stole the difference with the other groups. And that could come into play as well. Mewes with the ball forward. But Lindahl will be dealt with. She's got herself into this position a couple of times. And been able to find someone. Does so again. Press. Across the face of the box. It did open up for Press there. Just couldn't get the shot on target. She can't find the United States player. And then a half shot. She's definitely got a lot of class. Has a little look up to see what's on. And there is something on. And here is an opportunity maybe. Push players forward. But the opportunity was there again. But now they're back on attack. Press with Tokyo Stadium. Sweden comprehensively in control. With not starting her. But perhaps for the next swing that might change. Still well. What was absolutely equal to it. Did everything right. Press. But Lin Press was that strong right hand. And keeps a clean sheet. With the corner. First half. Or first minute I should say. And on they come again. Cross comes in. And once more. It's the head of Lloyd. That's it. That's all they needed. Time is up. And taking on the world champions. It doesn't mean it's gone. But it means there are serious questions.
