Real Madrid's Asllani went on to covid-19 despite having double-vaccinated and remained on the bench until the 68th minute when she was replaced by Stina Blackstenius.

Barely ten minutes later, Asllani came through in the penalty area but never reached a really good finish.

But was left lying in the grass outside Bratislava.

- I was really just going to put it in and then I feel that someone takes a foot.

I think it was a clear penalty situation, says Asllani about the incident.

She felt refreshed after the illness and tried to create conditions on the field, where the tall grass made it difficult.

"Slovakia was hungrier"

She was not happy with the performance where it got nerve in extra time when Slovakia washed out a corner.

- Slovakia is doing well and making it difficult for us.

They run a lot.

We must be better at recapture.

They can make it difficult for us if they are hungrier than us, which they were today.

Of course we are not completely satisfied with the performance.

Chelsea professional Magdalena Eriksson was happy with three points and not much more.

- A crunchy, lame and strange match on our part.

It will not be quite as we had thought.

We are not really getting our passing game started.

We take three points with us, says Eriksson.

"Georgia will defend even further down"

Georgia is now waiting, in advance for a punching bag in the group, in Gothenburg on Tuesday.

- They will defend even longer.

There will be a lot of this.

Sometimes it's hard to get to, they throw themselves and fight.

We need to improve the recording parts.

Then we will see how we balance the team, says national team captain Peter Gerhardsson.
