“We just need to reload now,” goalkeeper Ebba Svensson Träff tells SVT.

Sweden lost the bronze medal to Switzerland at the Olympics in Milan last winter. The Swedish women lost the bronze medal match 1–0 after Switzerland scored with 50 seconds left in overtime.

“Always fun matches. We've faced them a few times this season,” says Ebba Svensson Träff.

After beating Denmark 10–0 on Tuesday evening, Sweden won 5–0 against group giants Japan the next day. Wilma Sundin scored twice, while Ebba Hedqvist, Mira Jungåker and Thea Johansson scored the other goals.

Sweden finishes second in the group in Herning, behind dominant Canada, which won its World Cup debut against the Swedish women 5–1.
