When Sweden took on New Zealand in the last group stage match, they had previously defeated the USA and Australia.

It made it possible to rotate and the national team captain Peter Gerhardsson chose to start with eight new players compared to the previous match.

Only Magdalena Eriksson, Filippa Angeldal and Jonna Andersson were among the first eleven.

He is happy after the 2-0 win.

- It is strong, very well done.

A lot of new players today and it shows that there is a competitiveness in this squad.

It is important to be able to rest

If you look ahead, the situation is to be able to use different players optimally in the Olympics, says the national team captain.

- It will be close with matches so it was a perfect situation to rest and play others.

For the Swedish part, either Canada or Japan are waiting for the next match.

Which national team it will be will be decided later today.

Canada faces Britain and Chile faces Japan.
