Sweden wins with almost no time on the clock in sudden death overtime.

A three-strong German break for the goal with one minute to go looks bad for Sweden, but Felicia Nyberg catches them from above and snatches the outstretched ball. Less than minute remains. It will be a penalty shootout…. No, suddenly with five seconds left Ann-Sofi Krakau, perhaps Sweden’s top player, certainly a physical and explosive athlete, is over the goal and shoves one in. An amazing finish. The Germans have been somewhat unlucky but possession must be converted into goals or it means nothing but a bitter taste… no that’s not true. Germany played very well. It is a hard defeat but they can be proud.
