It was a 1-0 victory for Sweden against Australia in oppressive Tokyo heat.

One who struggled properly in the heat was Hedvig Lindahl.

- It is the most physically difficult match I have played so far.

It was struggling with the humidity, she says.

Now an Olympic final awaits against Canada, something that means a lot to the 38-year-old Swedish veteran goalkeeper.

- We have been able to live up to expectations and now we have a chance to take the last step.

That means a lot.

If we win, I can stop, she says.

Lindahl got a slap on the finger during the match, but there is nothing that will stop her in the final, she says.

- The little finger went out of joint, but jumped back, so right now it's okay.

TT: Could it be bad?

- I do not know ... It almost feels a little silly that it would keep me from an Olympic final.

I'm actually against taking painkillers, but then I would have done it.

Tape on and drive if I get the chance to play.
