  + stars: | 2023-08-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Blomqvist met Sofia Jakobsson's cross with a fantastic header in the 66th minute to put the third-ranked Swedes firmly on course to advance as Group G winners, with Rubensson sealing the win with a superbly taken spot kick. They show that year after year," added Blonqvist, saying Sweden were not favourites for the tie. "We have, in my opinion, good self-confidence and we will go in wanting to win that game, but we won't underestimate the USA." They remain without a win in their four World Cup appearances and finished bottom of the group, with South Africa advancing as runners-up after beating Italy 3-2 in the other group game in Wellington.

[1/3] Soccer Football - FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 - Group G - Argentina v Sweden - Waikato Stadium, Hamilton, New Zealand - August 2, 2023 Sweden coach Peter Gerhardsson before the match REUTERS/David RowlandHAMILTON, New Zealand, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Sweden will be refreshed and ready for Sunday's tantalising tie against holders United States in the Women's World Cup last 16, coach Peter Gerhardsson said after his second-string side reached the knockouts with a clinical win over Argentina. Sweden and the U.S. will meet for the sixth World Cup in succession and the seventh time overall when they battle for a quarter-final spot in Sydney. "I rewatched that match recently and I don't think that's one of our best matches," Gerhardsson said. Gerhardsson led Sweden to a third-placed finish at the 2019 World Cup. "If you're going to go all the way, you're going to have to play this kind of opposition sooner or later," he said.
