World champions Spain battled to a 3-2 win over the world’s number one-ranked team Sweden in their Nations League Group A game on Friday after a week blighted by uncertainty caused by the continued fall-out from their World Cup win.
Mariona Caldentey struck from the spot deep into second-half stoppage time to give the Spaniards a boost after another turbulent week that included threats of a boycott and late-night meetings to ensure that they could field a team.
