Blackstenius seals Sweden's knockout place as victory eliminates Poland
Briefly

Sweden showcased their dominance with a convincing victory over Poland, highlighting their competitive edge heading into the knockout stages of Euro 2025. Star players like Stina Blackstenius and Kosovare Asllani found form, contributing to the team's performance. The match saw Sweden create several early chances, including two shots hitting the crossbar. Their speed and tactical execution were evident, especially from Chelsea's Rytting Kaneryd, who posed significant threats to Poland's defense. Cooler weather conditions benefited the pace of play, allowing Sweden to control the game effectively with a strong support presence in Lucerne.
Before kick-off most of the colour in Lucerne, usually picture-perfect with its lakes and peaks, had been brought by Sweden's sizable support.
The Chelsea right winger Rytting Kaneryd was a particular menace, almost unplayable through her mixture of speed and balance.
Sweden, impressive in victory against Denmark, had no such issues in the fresh evening air.
They tore into Poland and could have been out of sight within 13 minutes.
