Tokyo Olympics, Juventus Lina Hurtig freezes the United States in her debut
The Tokyo Olympics opened with a big surprise in terms of women’s football. The US World Champion goes KO and the credit also goes to the Juventus player. On the other hand, the Sweden-US match, valid for Group G, was close to the finals of the tournament. The Americans are the defending champions, but let’s not forget that the Scandinavian team reached the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup.
3-0 no appeal is what gave Sweden the first three points. The big star of the evening was striker Stina Blackstenius, Häcken player, author of the prop that paved the way for Blågult (yellow and blue). But Lena Hurtig took care of closing the accounts.
Juventus No. 95 and No. 17 scored the final goal 3-0 with a beautiful cross from the right of Hana Glass, Bayern Munich defender. Nice blow for Rapinoe and his teammates who will have to make up again on Saturday 24th against New Zealand (loss in debut against Australia 2-1).
Sweden, on the other hand, is looking at the match against the Australians more calmly, in the most complex group of the Five Circles event. And the Scandinavian team became the team that would be defeated, despite the mandatory absence of the other Juventus player, Linda Sembrandt, due to injury.
