Millie Bright Another great rock performance from England in the background. strong air Case provided for Bronze. 7
Leah Williamson Shows trademark calm demeanor. He worked with Bright to get the needle out of Sweden’s attack. 7
Rachel Daly bounced back from Spanish woes to provide a consistent presence down the left. 7
Georgia Stanway Energetic presence in midfield and not afraid to get inside. The opportunities came right away. 7
Keira Walsh provided the space to sprinkle her steps. The instigator of many attacks in England. 7
Beth Mead twinkling. A thorn in Hanna Glas’ side. Composure in front of goal left England out. 8
Fran Kirby, England’s wizard at No 10. Vision and run wore Sweden down everywhere. 8
Lauren Hemp England’s speedster found space on the left all night. He somehow missed an open goal. 7

Sweden (4-3-3)
Hedvig Lindahl Not to blame for England’s top three. Should have had a stronger glove on Kirby’s chip. 6
Amanda Ilestedt Worried about the hemp beat throughout. He left room for the winger to exploit him. 5
Linda Sembrant made her second campaign start. He struggled to contain England’s deliveries in the box. 6
Magdalena Eriksson had a small fight with White that seemed to take her by surprise. He has never fully recovered. 6
Hanna Glas Changed to left back in Andersson’s absence. Cannot contain Mead. 5
Filippa Angeldahl One of Sweden’s most productive players remained silent. He has barely reached the ball. 6
Kosovare captain Asllani Sweden was their creative pace. Marked offside in the second. 7

Nathalie Björn Lucky to finish the game on the field. He avoided an early booking for a cynical foul. 5
Fridolina Rolfö proved a problem down the left for Sweden in the first. Canceled after the break. 7
Stina Blackstenius was threatened on the break. I had the pace at Bronze. Denied by a brilliant save from Earps. 6
