Sweden won yet another bronze medal at the Women’s World Cup, with Fridolina Rolfo and Kosovare Asllani scoring Saturday in a clinical 2-0 win over tournament co-host Australia.
The Swedish women proved once again they're tough to beat after a semifinal loss, extending their perfect record in World Cup third-place matches to four with the victory in Brisbane.
The tournament co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand has set attendance records, had packed fan zones, and two of Australia's matches became the most-watched programs on domestic commercial TV in 20 years. Rolfo converted from the penalty spot with a low, curling left-foot shot in the 30th minute after Australian defender Clare Hunt was penalized after a VAR review after tripping up Stina Blackstenius.
Goalkeeper Zecira Musovic kept another clean sheet, blocking Kerr’s angled right-foot strike in first-half stoppage time and again stopping Clare Polkinghorne’s shot from right in front in the 70th.
