  1. Post update

    Let's have a quick look back at yesterday, as England made it two wins from two.

  2. 'Italy have to find a way to defend Sweden's corners'

    HT: Sweden 3-0 Italy

    Jonas Eidevall

    Arsenal manager on BBC Two

    Sweden's deliveries on corners, especially from Jonna Andersson, have been absolutely pinpoint.

    Amanda Ilestedt is a really strong player competing in the air. I think that strength there, Italy have not been able to deal with it. It feels like they can't really challenge for the ball, the goalkeeper can't come for the ball either.

    They need to find another way on how to defend those corners.

  3. HALF-TIME

    Sweden 3-0 Italy

    Italy made a bright start, but go in three down after rapid-fire goals from Amanda Ilestedt, Fridolina Rolfo and Stina Blackstenius.

    Sweden with one foot in the last 16.

  4. 'A long, long way back'

    Sweden 3-0 Italy

    Neil Johnston

    BBC Sport at Wellington Regional Stadium

    Sweden are running riot - and the neutrals are here for it.

    Two minutes between the second and third goals.

    It's a long, long way back for Italy.

  5. 'Italy couldn't cope with Sweden's movement'

    Sweden 3-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    Sweden have really upped the tempo since getting that first goal.

    Italy can't clear their lines and Stina Blackstenius is the first one to react.

    Italy just couldn't cope with the movement from Sweden. They will be disappointed because of how they started the game.

  6. GOAL - Sweden 3-0 Italy

    Stina Blackstenius

    Three for Sweden in a frantic seven-minute spell and they're storming into the last 16.

    Johanna Rytting Kaneryd does excellently to cross across the face of goal from the right side, Italy can't deal with it and it falls to Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius and she finishes from close range.

    Italy shell-shocked, Sweden running away with this one.

  7. 'Perfect delivery again'

    Sweden 2-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    It's another set piece and a great delivery from Andersson.

    There's an overload at the far post and Fridolina Rolfo gets the touch with her knee.

    The delivery is perfect yet again.

    Rolfo at the far post. They just have players in the right positions, it's something they clearly work on.

    So well drilled from those set pieces.

    Sweden 2-0 Italy
  8. GOAL - Sweden 2-0 Italy

    Fridolina Rolfo

    Two excellent corners from Jonna Andersson and it leads to two goals.

    Another inswinger from the right is headed on, maybe by an Italian head at the near post, it falls to Fridolina Rolfo at the back post and she knees the ball at goal.

    Elena Linari is standing on the line and can't keep the ball out of the net.

  9. Post update

    Sweden 1-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    Francesca Durante makes a brilliant save, you've got to time that to absolute perfection. Blackstenius was just about to shoot but she watched it all the way.

    What a tackle that is.

    Sweden 1-0 Italy
  10. Post update

    Nearly a second in four minutes for Sweden. Italy's Lucia de Guglielmo sells Francesca Durante short with a backpass and Stina Blackstenius gets there.

    But the goalkeeper, outside her penalty area, does well to slide in and win the ball with her feet.

  11. 'Ilestedt times her jump to perfection'

    Sweden 1-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    We know that Sweden are so strong from set pieces.

    It's a good delivery into the box. It just puts pressure on that Italian backline, on the goalkeeper.

    Amanda Ilestedt, who won the game for Sweden in their opener, comes up with another great header. She just times her jump to perfection.

    Ilestedt directs the header due to the power and pace on the delivery. Brilliant play from Sweden.

    Sweden 1-0 Italy
  12. Post update

    Sweden 1-0 Italy

    Neil Johnston

    BBC Sport at Wellington Regional Stadium

    Amanda Ilestedt just loves Wellington.

    She scored a 90th minute winner inside this stadium against South Africa and she's now put Sweden within sight of a place in the last 16.

    That was a great header.

  13. GOAL - Sweden 1-0 Italy

    Amanda Ilestedt

    It is two goals in two games for Arsenal's Amanda Ilestedt as she produces a glancing header, getting there ahead of goalkeeper Francesca Durante.

    But massive credit to ex-Chelsea defender Jonna Andersson. She swung in the left-footed corner from the right side brilliantly, it was just begging to be heading in and Illestedt, the match-winner against South Africa, gets another goal.

    Sweden lead and move closer to the last 16.

  14. 'Different play from Italy without Girelli'

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    When Italy don't have the focal point Cristiana Girelli up top, Sweden are always going to come out best with it.

    It's slightly different play from Italy, the way they progress the ball and go forward when Girelli isn't playing.

  15. Post update

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    That's much better from Sweden, more intensity in their play. One and two touch passing, that's how you get round this Italian defence.

  16. Post update

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    Sweden are starting to look more dangerous as Stina Blackstenius and then Fridolina Rolfo get in round the back, only to be frustrated by excellent sliding challenges.

    With Lucia de Guglielmo still down, Sweden play on and win a corner. It is swung in from the left but Francesca Durante does excellently to punch it away under sustained pressure and pretty much on her goalline.

  17. Post update

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    Sue Smith

    Former England international on BBC Two

    Elin Rubensson shot from far out but it was worth an attempt.

    It was straight at the goalkeeper Francesca Durante, you expect her to save that.

    Elin Rubensson
  18. Post update

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    Neil Johnston

    BBC Sport at Wellington Regional Stadium

    That's the first thing Italy keeper Francesca Durante has had to do,

    It's taken until the 23rd minute for Sweden to register an attempt - from number 23 Elin Rubensson.

  19. Post update

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    Italy defender Elena Linari gets her goalkeeper Francesca Durante out of trouble after a poor clearance.

    Durante then holds on to a 20-yard low effort from Elin Rubensson in the Swedes first look at the goal.

  20. Post update

    Sweden 0-0 Italy

    A great piece of control from Everton defender Nathalie Bjorn from Zecira Musovic's hurried clearance, with Bjorn then sending a ball forwards for Stina Blackstenius to chase on to.

    But the Italian defence holds firm.
