The Swedish soccer players defeated the outsider South Africa with a goal in the last minute at the World Cup

With a goal in the last minute, Swedish women’s soccer players won 2:1 over South Africa in their opening match at the World Cup. The defending bronze medalists and silver medalists from the last two Olympic tournaments were losing to the outsider from the beginning of the second half, and Amanda Ilestedtová only saved them from embarrassment at the very end with a header after a corner kick.
