On July 24, Sweden will face Australia in the group stage.

When the team rehearsed the Olympics in Kalmar, the match ended in a draw.

Today, Australia played Japan in Kyoto ahead of the Olympics.

It ended unhappily for "The Matildas" who pulled the shortest straw.

To Sweden's advantage.

Alanna Kennedy was substituted after the halftime break.

Ten minutes later, she got the ball on her hand in the penalty area - and Mana Iwabuchi stepped forward.

Iwabuchi managed the penalty for her Japan when she scored 1-0 behind the goalkeeper.

There were no more goals, and before the Olympic premiere against New Zealand, it does not look particularly bright for Australia.
