Here’s Nick Ames’ verdict from Lucerne:
Sweden are purring and will fear nobody in the knockouts. This was a routine victory and, make no mistake, tougher tests lie ahead than the obstacle posed by a limited Poland. The underdogs could, and really should, have been put far out of sight before Lina Hurtig completed the scoring. Nonetheless they will top Group C if they avoid defeat against Germany and, with Stina Blackstenius and Kosovare Asllani opening their accounts either side of the break, have enough stars hitting form to sense opportunity knocking.
Johanna Rytting Kaneryd has been named player of the match by Uefa. Their technical observer group said the Chelsea star “was at the heart of everything positive for Sweden on the right; her creativity was electrifying. She had the most dribbles into the box, played the most passes into the area and created the most chances.” Fair play.
