She stepped forward for us. She brought out that little extra. Lina is at her best when she's really furious, and that's what she was during the second half of the match, says national team captain Ulf Lundberg to SVT.

Ljungblom:

We were not at all satisfied after the first period. A bit of shame on us. I hate to lose and that's what ignited, she says in the channel's broadcast.

The 23-year-old scored 1–1 after 6.32 minutes of the third period and secured the win when she scored 2–1 in 5-on-3 play after 14.23.

Two goals that thus ensured the team turned around the early deficit from the first period.

The women's national team concludes the tournament on Saturday with a match against Finland.

Lil' sister, I think. We've won the last ones, but that means nothing. It's the last match in this tournament and we're definitely going for it, says Ljungblom.
