Summary

Thank you very much for joining me today. Sweden will be delighted with the three points, but a little concerned by how hard they were to earn. South Africa will be heartbroken at falling behind so late in the game, but they can take heart from a showing of great promise.

Don’t forget that there is a lifetime’s worth of World Cup content to sink your teeth just a few clicks away. The most urgent of which is the liveblog of Netherlands v Portugal, with that Group E clash kicking off in a few minutes.

I’ll catch you back here on Thursday to see if the Matildas can make it two from two against Nigeria. Cheerio!
