In the 10th minute, Anna Anvegård increased to 2-0 and three minutes later Olivia Schough made it 3-0.
– I am very satisfied with the beginning. It was very, very good, says national team captain Peter Gerhardsson at the press conference.
Before the end of the first half, Sweden had gone 5-0 after goals from Magdalena Eriksson and Pauline Hammarlund.
Unfortunately, Lina Hurtig was injured as the game became more physical and she had to leave the field. It is not clear how severe the injury is.
