Christoffer Forsberg and Hippo's Sapporo, first out of the Swedish riders, received a total of 8 penalties in jumping.
The duo had an impact in the three-combination and also tore an obstacle in the two-combination.
- A little annoying with two strikes but he felt fine after the terrain yesterday and we continue to work forward and strengthen him.
Now I get to help the team the rest of the day, says Christoffer Forsberg to SVT Sport.
Malin Petersen and Charly Brown then backed up with a flawless ride.
Important result for the Swedish team that with Malin's zero took Sweden up to a fifth place after Ireland's Sam Watson demolished three obstacles.
Petersen is very happy about Charly Brown's European Championships.
- I feel that it is a very nice horse and with a little more routine on this, it will be great.
It feels like he and I have the potential to be good in all branches, there is no branch that is very weak.
The starting order in jumping is reversed, ie with the 25 best ranked crews in starting group two
Double flawless for Sweden
Malin Josefsson and Golden Midnight started the second starting group with the mainly ranked riders.
The duo opened brilliantly, flawlessly and with nice resilience over the obstacles.
Sweden can thus include two zeros in the result so far.
Sofia Sjöborg makes her first senior championship and will finish worst in 17th place individually after finishing with a flawless jump together with 10-year-old mare Bryjamolga van het Marienshof Z.
- Sofia has done a great job with this horse.
Very resilient horse that has developed enormously recently and there is even more potential, which will be very exciting to see, says Lars Christensson, SVT Sports expert commentator.
Sara Algotsson Ostholt and Chicuelo jumped well but tore an obstacle.
But Sweden's team effort is strong and when Switzerland's last rider Robin Godel tore two obstacles, it meant that Sweden went up to fourth place and overshadowed France, which is now under enormous pressure with one rider left.
Sweden chance for bronze - France's last rider decides the bronze fight
France has only three team riders left in the competition, which means that all results are counted.
Jean Lou Bigot tore three obstacles and previously French teammate Stanislas De Zuchowicz had torn four, which means that France can now not afford to have more than two time errors on their last rider if they are to keep their bronze place.
Maxime Livio had a chance at a bronze individual and his round also decided the French team result.
The pressure was great and early came a demolition, an impact that cost him a podium individually and also the French team bronze.
Livio's demolition means that Sweden takes bronze in the team competition, the same result as in Luhmülen two years ago.
Great Britain won, the nation's 23rd European Championship gold in the team competition.
Germany snagged the silver before Sweden.
Triple UK
Individually, Nicola Wilson and JL Dublin won and she is surrounded on the podium by her teammates.
Silver to Piggy March and bronze to Sarah Bullimore.
Sweden sixth before the decision:
Sweden is in sixth place in the team competition before the decision, 3.4 penalty points behind fourth-placed Switzerland.
Individually, Sara Algotsson Ostholt is best placed by the Swedish riders with a 13th place before the decision.
Swedish start number jumping:
