The hosts were frustrated by Sweden's defensive tactics and went closest to breaking the 0-0 deadlock in second-half stoppage time but Formiga's header was saved by keeper Helvig Lindahl. Both teams had a penalty saved before Lindahl blocked Andressa's effort. Lisa Dalhlkvist sealed victory for Sweden by firing past keeper Barbara. Canada and Germany are contesting the other semi-final.
