The Swedish soccer ladies took the lead in the 14th minute through Rebecka Blomqvist.
But with seven minutes left in the game, the equalizer came after Spain pressed throughout the second half.
- A tough match against a very skilled Spain, so it is not completely unfair that it will be 1-1, says Zacira Musovic.
Magdalena Eriksson does not completely share that image.
The defender thinks that Sweden has a good first half but is disappointed with the performance in the second.
- In others, we get way too deep and find it difficult to get out of it.
Gives them way too much initiative and they really have the momentum throughout the second half.
We have to look at the second half and see what happened, says Eriksson.
Eriksson: "Disappointed in us"
Spain were missing 15 of their best players after a schism with the Spanish federation but still managed to have plenty of possession and pressure a regular Sweden.
- It is the Spanish style and their identity.
Many of these players come from Real Madrid and it's not a bad team either.
But I'm still disappointed with us today and I feel we could have stood up even better, been more aggressive and not given them so much time.
With time with the ball they will be good.
We make them better than they are, says Eriksson.
Kosovar Asllani agrees that Sweden starts well and then loses.
- A strange match.
We start well first 20. We find the surfaces that we have talked about.
But the more the match goes on, the more we fall away.
We get very long and don't get into pressure.
It's frustrating that we don't get to the press game today.
We allow them to have too much possession.
