Jennifer Falk got to play from the start in her 31st national team match.

But at halftime, she had to step aside for one of the possible replacements in the Swedish national team goal – both of whom had 0 national team matches before Thursday evening.

Tove Enblom revealed during the camp that she had been named second goalkeeper several times ahead of Emma Holmberg – but the Vålerenga goalkeeper got no playing time until the European Championship rehearsal against Norway at Ullevål.

The debut took place in front of, among others, her partner. This time, her parents were not in attendance.

Yes, mom and dad have been to how many national team matches and now they are not here today. So it was a bit typical, says Tove Enblom.

They are probably sitting at home feeling sorry, but regardless, they are surely happy now, I have had a lot of support.

It was initially decided that Jennifer Falk would get to step off in the half if nothing unexpected happened in the first half. Therefore, Tove Enblom had had some time to get used to the idea.

The debut, on "home ground", offered a sweaty save that stopped a Norwegian reduction in the beginning of the second half.

Yes, they were up front a few times and I had to make a sweaty save after a cross to the far post. It was fun, a lot of adrenaline after that save, she says.

But I still think we handled it well.
