USWNT: Group Stage performances vs Knockout injuries

On Thursday night, the U.S. Women’s National Team scored two goals to ease past Sweden in the final game of the group stage at the 2019 FIFA World Cup. Sweden were looking to assert their dominance again after their 2016 Olympic Finals win over the USA, but they were well below the required level here.

Jill Ellis reverted to her original front three which proved too much for the Swedes. The two nations have now met at five of the previous seven World Cups, including each of the last four, making it the most played fixture in the history of the tournament.
