90+4

The final whistle goes and it's all over for the plucky Colombians. Sweden will be delighted to have the three points after they were given a much sterner test than they perhaps would have expected. There's no doubt that the Swedes should have scored more than their solitary goal as they were very wasteful in front of goal.
90+3
Sweden have a chance to make the game safe on the counter-attack but Jakobsson happy just to win the corner and waste a few more seconds
90+2
Arias wins a free-kick after a collision with Fischer and switch the ball to the left flank and Rodallega attempts a long-range effort again, but again it's over the bar

There will be four minutes of injury time
90'
Sweden doing well to keep the ball at the right end of the pitch for their purposes and will run down the clock now you would expect
89'
Jakobsson continues to threaten on the right wing but is unfortunate to lose out in a challenge near the by-line and it results in a goal-kick
88'
Rincon takes the kick but it is woeful as she clears the frame of the goal by about fifteen yards in what I think was a cross, very disappointing
88'
Silly challenge by Jakobsson on Rodallega gives Colombia a free-kick on the left wing in a dangerous crossing position
87'
The corner is dominantly punched clear by Lindahl in the Swedish goal
87'
Rodallega breaks down the otehr end of the pitch and out-paces Svensson again winning a corner
86'
Sepulveda continues her excellent performance by out-jumping all the taller players round her and claims the corner brilliantly
85'
Schelin gets free in the area again after an Edlnud flick-on, she may well have handled it but got her shot off anyway and it was tipped round the post by Sepulveda
84'
Long-ball down the right channel finds Vidal but she mis-hits her cross and it goes out for a goal-kick
81'

Vidal replaces Peralta for Colombia
78'
The substitute Jakobsson is clear through on goal but from a tight angle, her shot is beaten away by the goalkeeper
77'
Sjogran has an excellent opportunity to set up a goal for Sweden but chooses to shoot herself when Landstrom was much better placed inside the area, poor decision making from the experienced midfielder.
76'
Jakobssen looks lively playing well forward on the right, getting a cross in, but it's easily defended
75'
Rincon continues to pull the strings for Colombia, but many of her passes are sideways, which would be fine if her team didn't need to score, but they are running out of time here
