    The front three for Sweden are practically jogging to get back into the game.

    It's going to be difficult for Sweden, it's going to be frustrating but you all have to work together as a team.

    Nothing from that corner but it's a little glimpse of what that Spain front line can do.

    We haven't seen anything to match that from the other end.

    That sparked the biggest cheer of the game so far. Alexia Putellas doing what Alexia Putellas does best.

    Speaking about Putellas being world class.

    A cheeky little nutmeg on Angeldahl there before she delivers a very dangerous cross.

    Spain have a free-kick in a decent area but it's just a yellow wall in the way.

    Alexia Putellas does well down the right to get away from her marker and pings the shot in looking for Jenni Hermoso but Magdalena Eriksson gets a really solid header to it.

    Corner.

    Here is a look at that earlier chance for Olga Carmona of Spain.

    We haven't seen much else from either side since this.

    Spain are dominating possession but they're running into a yellow defensive wall which has remained solid and reliable throughout the tournament.

    With half an hour on the clock, just two attempts - neither of them on target.

    This is tight!

    Sweden are taking too long on the ball when they do win it back.

    They just look nervous, like they're not expecting it.

    Cameras have just panned to a bunch of Spain fans who are clearly enjoying themselves. Chanting and dancing along as one chap hammers a drum.

    Their side haven't given them too much to get excited about, so far.

    Good challenge from Elin Rubensson to nip the ball away from Alexia Putellas. Free-kick for Spain near the half-way line, I thought it was a good tackle actually.

  11. 'Abelleira crucial to Spain'published at 09:28 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

    We mention Bonmati and Putellas but Abelleira is absolutely crucial to this Spain side.

    Playing in defensive midfield it is her job to look after and protect that back line.

    She often goes unnoticed really.

    Spain 0-0 Sweden

    Sweden try to build an attack but Kosovare Asllani's ball has way too much on it and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd can't get anywhere near it.

    Both sides just missing that final piece at the moment.

    Spain look hungry tonight defensively as well as going forward.

    Really good defensive work from Spain.

    Spain 0-0 Sweden

    Sweden have not had a touch in the Spain penalty area so far.

    Seven of their 11 goals at this World Cup have come from set pieces but they won't be able to rely on that if they hope to progress.

    For Sweden, when they do have the ball they have to look after it.

    They may not have the ball as much as they would in other games so when they do have it, it's crucial that they look after it.

    Oooh. I mentioned before that Stina Blackstenius is putting Cata Coll under pressure every time she has the ball and that wasn't the most composed touch from the keeper.

    She sees Blackstenius rushing on and it's a nervy clearance.

    Good defensive line from Spain.

    They know Blackstenius likes to get on the shoulder and stretch the play, so they have to make sure they get that right.

    Spain 0-0 Sweden

    Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Fridolina Rolfo are playing more like number 10's inside so when Sweden do win the ball centrally, they haven't got the outlet out wide to really target Spain.

    The space is there to get at them.

    We're back into that steady Spain possession game.

    Sweden winning most of the headers, though, and that could be where they prove dangerous.

  20. 'Decent effort'published at 09:16 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

    Good build-up play again from Spain.

    Both full-backs getting involved, Batlle driving down the right, Carmona with the shot on the left.

    It is a decent effort too.
