England 2-0 Sweden
Oh, so, so close to what would surely have been a game-sealing third!
Alessia Russo, fresh on for Ellen White, gets away down the left and sends over a perfect low cross for Lauren Hemp. Somehow, the forward manages to lift the ball up and off the bar from point-blank range!

Cass Blakeman: Amazing goal - bet Lucy Bronze didn't expect that, so far out for a header. Angle favoured her.
Ben Dunbar: Whisper it but has Bronze just assured England at least a silver?
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 55 mins

Another Sweden change.
Amanda Ilestedt departs after missing that chance. Jonna Andersson, who has just recovered from covid, is on.

Oh, almost a quick response for Sweden!
Amanda Ilestedt is in at the back post to try and reach a cross, but Rachel Daly does just enough, getting a touch to put off the Sweden player.

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC OneJohanna Rytting Kaneryd is a different prospect for Rachel Daly to deal with. There are two players down there on the overload.
Instant danger from Sweden. It looked like Daly did really well to get a touch to take it away from the Sweden player.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 53 mins
England 2-0 Sweden
A double change for Sweden.
Caroline Seger is on for her 233rd appearance, replacing Filippa Angeldal.
Johanna Kaneryd is also on, for Sofia Jakobsson.
Peter Gerhardsson had to do something.

Oh no she is not!
England's second goal stands!
A massive moment in this game. Bronze's header wasn't the most powerful but the Swedish keeper failed to stop it finding the net.

Lucy Bronze rises and meets a corner to send a header back across goal and inside the far corner.
Lauren Hemp may be in an offside position and impeding the keeper.

England 1-0 Sweden
England have already shown in this tournament that they can dig deep against quality opponents to win a knock-out game.
Sweden will come at them this half. It's going to need some serious resilience from the Lionesses.

Clinton Morrison
Former Crystal Palace striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveSweden looked the better team for the first 20 minutes but England didn't want half-time - they wanted a second goal. Sweden are not out of it. They look a threat up front.
