Inga Elin and Frida Eldebrink.
No Amanda Zahui or Regan Magarity.
With several.
The Swedish list of player losses before the match was at least long in the premiere for the new coach trio Irene Otamiri, Kevin Taylor-Lundgren and Robin Sandberg.
But in terms of those conditions, the new young Swedish national team kept pace with Latvia for a long time.
Sweden went to an early lead 14-6 before Latvia turned and had barely 21-20 after the first period.
Clearly approved game by Sweden, where Klara Lundquist was one of the plan's best players.
Lundquist continued to play well in the first half and was also the one who kept Sweden in the match when she put a two-pointer in the last second of the first half.
But still Latvian lead with 47-39 at half time.
Lundquist shone
A loss of ten points is good in terms of conditions, said SVT expert Elisabeth Egnell before the match.
And Sweden kept that difference for a long time.
Before the final period, Latvia led 70-60.
But then it ran away for Sweden when Latvia relaxed its grip and slipped away.
There was no loss of ten points, it was 19. But still a lot of positive intentions of a young and inexperienced Swedish team.
- I am actually very happy with what I have seen in the Swedish team.
They had no idea what it would look like.
Sweden is doing well, but it runs away a bit at the end when Sweden does not really have the strength, says SVT expert Elisabeth Egnell about the Swedish effort.
The best in the Swedish team was Klara Lundquist with her 21 points, ten assists and five rebounds.
Sweden will now have to wait a year before the next European Championship qualifier in the hunt for games in the European Championship 2023.
