Both
teams
won
in
their
final
group
games,
meaning
they
finished
level
on
seven
points
and
were
separated
by
goal
difference,
having
drawn
when
they
faced
each
other
earlier
in
the
tournament.
Sweden
thumped
Portugal
5-0
while
the
Netherlands
were
4-1
winners
against
Switzerland
following
a
rush
of
late
goals.
Sweden
finished
with
a
plus-six
goal
difference,
two
better
than
the
Netherlands
achieved.
It
means
that
five
years
on
from
triumphing
on
home
soil,
the
Dutch
must
do
it
the
hard
way
if
they
are
to
go
deeper
into
this
tournament,
with
France
having
caught
the
eye,
particularly
in
their
5-1
rout
of
Italy.

are

D,
while
Sweden
await
the

from
that
pool,
with
Italy,
Iceland
and
Belgium
all
still
in
the
hunt
ahead
of
Monday’s
last
round
of
matches.
Sweden,
who
sit
second
in
the
FIFA
rankings,
behind
only
the
United
States,
showed
why
they
should
be
taken
seriously
as
contenders
to
win
this
tournament
as
they
mauled
Portugal
in
Leigh.
Filippa
Angeldal
scored
twice
for
Sweden
in
the
first
half,
and
a
Carole
Costa
own
goal
made
it
3-0
at
the
break,
before
Kosovare
Asllani’s
penalty
and
a
late
fifth
from
Stina
Blackstenius
completed
the
convincing
victory.
It
matched
Sweden’s
biggest
victory
at
a
European
Championship.
Captain
Asllani
said:
“We
are
feeling
great.
It
was
our
goal
to
get
through
the
group
from
the
beginning.
Today
we
had
to
win
and
we
wanted
to
score
as
many
goals
as
possible
to
win
the
game.”
Quoted
on
UEFA’s
official
website,
she
added:
“We
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
Portugal,
they
have
developed
a
lot,
but
at
the
same
time
we
just
wanted
to
go
all
in
and
be
as
aggressive
as
possible
in
the
last
third.”

&

–
This
was
Sweden’s
joint-biggest
win
at
the
UEFA
Women’s
Euros,
equalling
their
5-0
victory
over
Finland
at
the
2013
tournament
as
hosts.
They
have
now
reached
the
knockout
stages
in
all
seven
editions
since
the
format
was
introduced
in
1997.
Brawn.

The
Netherlands
were
without
star
striker
Vivianne
Miedema
for
a
second
successive
game
after
her
COVID-19
positive
test,
but
they
still
got
the
win
against
the
Swiss
at
Bramall
Lane.
It
was
a
tight
game
until
three
late
Dutch
goals
gave
the
scoreline
a
lopsided
look.
An
own
goal
from
Ana-Maria
Crnogorcevic
gave
the
Netherlands
a
49th-minute
lead,
but
Geraldine
Reuteler
levelled
up
four
minutes
later.
The
teams
remained
locked
until
the
84th
minute
when
Romee
Leuchter
netted
the
first
of
her
late
double,
with
Victoria
Pelova
also
scoring
in
the
dying
moments.
