Sweden's team captain Anna Haak was disappointed after the match.
No, but it's tough, hard to digest. But I'm so proud of this team. I think we can go out of this match and be so proud of ourselves, she says to SVT.
Haak took the opportunity to praise the audience after the match.
The atmosphere was great in the hall. I have to say that I've never seen such an audience in Swedish volleyball. Even if we don't win this match, it's an incredibly big milestone.
In the final, Ukraine will face Hungary.
