It was a rather weak start for Sweden in Lund and it was noticed that the players had not played together for a long time.
Poland was kept fairly even, but none of the teams excelled.
When goalkeeper Jessica Ryde jumped in and replaced Filippa Idéhn, she made some really good saves and after that the Swedes started a little more.
At the break, they led 10-9.
- It is clear that you notice that the small details are not really there, but only we can get a little easier goals, it will probably drop, said comebacking Isabelle "Bella" Gulldén during the break.
Ten minutes into the second half, Sweden had a bad and passive period when Poland went up in a 15-13 lead.
Then Tomas Axnér chose to take a timeout and it gave the desired effect.
They went up to lead 19-16 after, among other things, two goals by the talent Kristin Thorleifsdottir.
The goals were her first in the national team.
Sweden missed many stars due to injury, including Sabina Jacobsen, Mikaela Mässing and Olivia Mellegård.
Jamina Roberts, who has recently become a mother, was also missing.
On Saturday, they face Poland again, then in Ystad.
