It was plugged out for Sweden directly.
The offensive was in full swing and Sweden went up to 6-2 after just over five minutes of play.
When the first half was finished, it could be stated that there were no major problems with the blue-yellow offensive, something 18 goals ahead testifies to.
But in the defensive game it went worse - especially in the final stages of the half.
With three minutes left, Sweden got Linn Blohm sent off at the position 18-13.
But when it was time for a half-time break, the Netherlands had scored four goals and were only one goal behind Sweden.
- We play well in the attacking game but it is far too bad to drop 17 in a half, says Jamina Roberts in Viaplay.
- It feels like it's leaking a little everywhere, she continues.
However, Sweden would have continued to be difficult for the Dutch offensive and with just over ten minutes left to play, the Netherlands were in the lead for the first time in the match - and it all developed into a real World Cup thriller.
The teams followed each other in the goal record until the end and the last attack of the match was Sweden's.
But Carin Strömberg missed the last match of the match and the match ended 31-31.
Thus, both the Netherlands and Sweden land on the same points in the group, but with the Netherlands on a better goal difference, thus the Netherlands has a small advantage before the main round.
Sweden's group D is merged with group C which the gold aspirant Norway won after three straight victories.
Norway is a big favorite to pinch one quarter-final place and as there will be no Swedish victory, Sweden missed the chance to gain a big advantage to pinch the other place.
