49 mins: The first yellow card of the game is shown to Asllani after a late challenge on Ertz.

46 mins: And we are underway in the second half! How will Sweden look to come out early in this second half after that poor end to the first half?

HALF-TIME: After their impressive group-stage performances, that was a somewhat disappointing first half from the Swedes. Just two shots (none on target) and a real lack of control on the ball.

Peter Gerhardsson’s side will need to be much-improved after the break if they are to force the issue and put the US on the back foot.

HALF TIME: Well, we don’t get any extension of the added time as the referee blows for half time right on the 47-minute mark.

It’s goalless at the break but the US will be the happier of the two sides having created the game’s best opportunities.

45 mins: Just the two minutes of added time is signalled but we may get a bit more with Andersson still recovering from that blow to the nose.

44 mins: A slight stoppage before the break as Andersson goes down having been accidentally caught by a Rodman’s elbow.

40 mins: 61% possession so far for the US as we approach the break. For all the talk of an American team on the decline, this has been a composed and controlled performance so far from the defending champions.

34 mins: OFF THE BAR! So close to an opener for the US. Sweden’s set-piece threat was all the talk heading into the match but it’s the US who almost score from a corner this time.

Horan rises well but sees her header cannon off the upright with Musovic beaten.

30 mins: The game just starting to open up at both ends now. Horan can’t quite force an effort on goal after some good work from Smith before Sweden break.

The ball falls to Blackstenius in the box who, like Horan, can’t create space for the shot and the US clear.

27 mins: SAVE! The first big save of the night as Musovic denies Rodman! Again, it’s poor from Sweden as Angeldal gives the ball away very cheaply in their own half.

Rodman drives into the box, getting the better of Andersson before trying to drive one across goal. Musovic is equal to it, though, and palms the effort away.
