The U.S. women’s national team survived a close call at the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday, and now it faces a much taller task in the round of 16 with a match against Sweden.
Sweden led Group G with six points and a +6 goal differential after beating South Africa 2-1 and Italy 5-0 in its first two matches. Italy still had a slim chance of winning the group, as it had three points through two matches thanks to a 1-0 win over Argentina.
The Swedes took care of business against Argentina on Wednesday, picking up a 2-0 win to remain unbeaten and set up a Round of 16 clash with the USWNT.The USWNT is 4-1-1 all-time against Sweden at the Women’s World Cup. Its six matches against Sweden are the most of any opponent in the team’s tournament history.
The Americans beat the Swedes in their first ever Women’s World Cup match in 1991. They then went on to play in the group stage at five straight tournaments from 2003 to 2019. The USWNT won the 2003 and 2007 meetings by two goals apiece. Sweden finally defeated the USWNT in the 2011 group stage by a score of 2-1 and the countries played a scoreless draw in 2015.
The most recent Women’s World Cup match between the two sides was the conclusion of the 2019 group stage.
