Magdalena Eriksson made her 78th international appearance and had to keep a clean sheet.

Even if the offensive does not produce, the defensive looks good and Sweden has not yet conceded a goal in the World Cup qualifiers.

- We defend ourselves so well with all eleven, it is a good collaboration.

We have played with many different constellations in the back line and with different goalkeepers.

For me, it is a whole that is very stable and that we can lean back on.

But there are of course many parts in our game that can be improved, says Magdalena Eriksson after the match.

Just like against Slovakia in the first World Cup qualifier, it was a victory with the odd goal, in a match where Sweden had the upper hand.

- We can find peace with the ball and not miss passes when we come from a hectic period.

It's about fine-tuning and finding the timing in the last third.

It is difficult when you meet teams with several players in the penalty area, such as Ireland where they play with a five-back line.

- In the end, we stand up and do not let in any dangerous goal chances.

We leave here with three points, says Magdalena Eriksson.

Finland is waiting for the next match in the World Cup qualifiers.

That match will be played on November 25.
