Women’s Euros: Sweden Takes Down Poland

The second stage match in Group C, as we see Poland taking on Sweden at the Allmend Stadium Luzern in Lucerne, Switzerland. When you have a tightly contested match between Germany & Denmark, you get a complete match from one of the two sides in this one, as Sweden defeated Poland by a final of three goals to nil.

In the 28th minute, Sweden finally crashed through the door after knocking on it around at the start of the match. Play starts at the far side touchline as Sweden advances toward the net. Kosovare Asllani dribbles toward the end line, then makes a fantastic cross to the trailing Stina Blackstenius, as she stands her ground, and the flick header goes in.

In the 52nd minute, Sweden gets their second goal of the match. A bit of a give and go between Johanna Rytting Kaneryd & Filippa Angeldahl. Kaneryd got it back, went toward the endline at the near side. She delivered a fabulous cross to the middle, where the Captain of the Swedish team, Asllani, trailed with a powerful snap header and scored her first goal of the tournament.

In the 77th minute, the final nail in the coffin came for Poland. Sweden earned a corner at the near side. As second half substitute, Jonna Andersson delivered the ball into the area, and a quick header deflection by the other second half substitute, Lina Hurtig, as she forced Poland’s keeper Kinga Szemik to push the ball into the sidenetting.

Sweden was the dominant side, and they pushed Poland all over the pitch. If Sweden was picked as one of the favorites to get into the Championship final, you are seeing why they can be favored. Excellent tactics and wave after wave of pressing their opponents. With this victory, Sweden is now top of Group C and has a plus one goal advantage over Germany on the Differential.

This will be an amazing finish when we get to the final match day of the Group. What will the Germans and the Swedes do when they face each other in a few days? That’s when the fun will begin as Denmark & Poland will battle to avoid the basement of Group C in the 2025 UEFA Women’s Euros
