Even before Tuesday night’s game, Slovakia had secured third place in the group, represented a strong qualifier for the European Championship and, apart from matches against Sweden, lost the most with two goals against Iceland.
Against the Swedish national team, however, there has been a brutal class difference.
At the fall meeting, Blågult won with a landslide 7-0, and when the nations faced each other in Trnava, it was a further elimination.
One of the few exclamation points Filippa Angeldal was in the Swedish starting eleven and the new Swedish champion in Kopparbergs / Göteborg showed right from the start why she wants to go to the Olympic Games in Japan next year. The 23-year-old was the director behind a series of dangerous Swedish attacks and after 22 minutes she herself had the honor of hitting 1-0 at the net.
– It’s a lot of fun to score goals, just nice, says Angeldal, who even before the game had been praised by the captain of the national team, Peter Gerhardsson, for his way of showing his forwards in training.
– I have felt renewed all fall and in the meeting here I want to show that I am here to stay. I have had a good performance in training and now that I had the opportunity from the beginning, it was good to put in a good performance.
His first goal came off a Kosovar Asllani corner kick, and the Real Madrid star’s right foot would organize more Swedish goal cheers in fixed situations.
The 31-year-old midfielder created chaos in the Slovak defense over and over again with his input. Something that paid off when Linda Sembrant made it 2-0 after a corner kick and when Fridolina Rolfö shortly before the break increased to 3-0 after a free kick into the penalty area.
Sweden did not attack Off the beat in the second half, which was just four minutes into when Jonna Andersson in her 53rd international scored her first goal for the national team. Stina Blackstenius dropped the ball to the left side, who very well found the far corner with her left foot.
– It took a short time, but it’s fun, of course. It’s always fun to be able to participate and finally score goals after 53 international matches. It was nice, says the Chelsea pro.
Unfortunately, the goal could not be seen live when the Slovak production, which delivered television footage to SVT, was broken during the halftime break.
– I just found out that unfortunately the television transmission was interrupted. It was a bit of a bad time, she says.
Five minutes later another left foot was allowed to speak, namely Rebecka Blomqvist’s. The new Wolfsburg forward had the opportunity to finish, after another corner from Asllani, and hit the crossbar, something that was also the first goal of the national team for her.
The match ended 6-0 after Filippa Angeldal finished the match as she started it, scoring a goal. The international game was the midfielder’s only fifth after a fall in which she was left out of the squad in the European Championship playoffs. With an Olympics next summer and a European Championships in England 2022 in the offing, he naturally hopes there will be more to come.
– Of course I am disappointed every time I am away, but at the same time I have had good communication with Peter. I just focused on myself and tried to do better. I knew my chance would come to an end and now that it has come, it was a lot of fun showing off me, she says.
13-0 in two Slovak encounters means that Sweden reinforces their first place in the group with a total goal difference of a crazy 40-2, and takes their starting point at the Olympics next year in the best way.
