Eleven-goal lead at halftime and totally superior in the game, to victory with "only" seven goals, 34-27.
Sweden's meeting with Cape Verde had two faces and it was mainly when Cape Verde chose to play seven against six in the attack after the break.
- We obviously go in with the attitude that we want to do our best and solve this, but we have a hard time with their seven against six.
Somewhere maybe you should be happy that you get it in this match when we lead big and they get such a hit so we can look at improving our defense in seven against six, says goalkeeper Mikael Appelgren, who is disappointed with the effort in other half.
- We are getting a little comfortable, he notes.
"Nagging a little"
And one Mikael Appelgren gets the support of the other, Michael Apelgren, assistant national team captain.
He, too, is unhappy with the game after the break.
- It gnaws a little, if I'm honest.
We hoped to be better in the second half.
The positive thing about it is that we get some stuff to work with.
They played a lot of seven on six and we didn't do as well as we wanted and didn't manage to keep our fundamentals right so that's something to push on.
It is important to learn something all the time, he says.
