The Blagult now must prepare for another third-place game that could be the final match in a Sweden shirt for their talismanic captain Caroline Seger. Capped 238 times, the 38-year-old Rosengard midfielder is playing at her fifth World Cup.“I wanted to give Caroline the gold," the Arsenal forward said."She deserves it. She’s done everything for Swedish football and for women’s football. I wanted her to win the trophy in her last game. I really believed we would do it.
After a back-and-forth opening half, the Lionesses claimed the lead in the 36th. Alessia Russo kept a ball from going behind for a goal kick and squared for Lauren Hemp, who was just too far in front of it at the near post, but Russo's former Manchester United teammate Ella Toone was there to hammer home a right-footed shot to make it 1-0.
In the 82nd, Kerr almost found another equalizer. Slipping past her marker, she got her head to beautiful service from Mary Fowler, but her effort floated harmlessly over the bar. Seconds later, Earps did well to turn away a low drive from Cortnee Vine. Then from a corner in the 85th, a clearance fell to Kerr at the near post, but she sent over from very close range. It would be the closest the Matildas would come to a second.
