While Sweden was leading the game from the beginning, Australia was also looking for opportunities little by little with counterattacks and set pieces, and the penalty kick broke the balance in the 30th minute of the first half.


The referee's on-field review was conducted on the foul situation of Australian defender Claire Hunt, who was blocking Swedish front-line striker Stina Blakstenius, who broke through the right side of the penalty area, and a penalty kick was declared.


Sweden's kicker, Friedolina Rolfoe, kicked low with her left foot and became the main character of the first winning goal.


Australia, backed by overwhelming support from home fans who filled the 49,000-seat Brisbane Stadium, later stepped up its offensive but allowed another goal in the 17th minute of the second half.


During Sweden's counterattack, Kosovare Aslani hit the ball back from the left side of the penalty area with his right foot inside the penalty arc to score an additional goal.


Australia continued to play despite the pain of key striker Sam Kerr, the holder of the most goals scored (64 goals) in the A match, injuring his calf in the 30th minute of the second half against his opponent, but failed to make a goal.


Both teams equally left 11 shots and five effective shots, with Sweden recording 46 percent and Australia 37 percent share (17 percent of the total).
