Top scorer Nathalie Hagman delivered straight away and scored nine goals.

Already at the break when Sweden led 14-9, it felt very stable.

To secure the match, national team captain Tomas Axnér took a timeout with 1.15 left to play.

In addition to the physical game, finesse was offered.

When Jamina Roberts faked a layup to Linn Blohm who made it 19-10 from the line, it was one such moment — replayed multiple angles on the telecast.

Sweden continued to dominate and despite Serbia's goalkeeper Kristina Graovac playing great in the second half, it never really got exciting.

Although the Serbians reduced the ten-goal deficit at 20-10 to just four goals at 23-19. 

- Sweden started brilliantly in the first half.

Elaborate defensive play with good goalkeeping by Jessica Rydé created a big lead.

In the second half, Sweden had a nice counterattacking game.

The fact that there were not bigger numbers is because the Serbian goalkeeper Kristina Graovac played great, but overall this is an extremely good start for Sweden in this championship, says SVT Sports expert Magnus Grahn.
