Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of the opening Group C match of the 2011 Women's World Cup between Colombia and Sweden in Leverkusen.

The corner is dealt with effectively and it ends with a goal-kick for the Swedes

Ospina makes a brilliant break forward and plays in Rodallega who's cross is deflacted behind for a corner

Schelin holds the ball up brilliantly but gives the ball away casually to Ospina in the middle of the park

Thunebro swings in a quality cross from the left but Seger can't quite get her head to it. Goal-kick.

Colombia trying to establish some possession from the back but the wayward pass seems only a moment away at any point and they give it away again

Colombia need to settle down again after an early scare in this half, Sweden looking to capitalise on this period of advantage

Possession surrendered far too easily by Colombia and Seger plays in Schelin down the left, she rounds the onrushing Sepulveda but is forced to shoot from a tight angle and narrowly misses the target, another good chance though.

Early free-kick for Colombia jsut inside the Swedish half is played short

Colombia get the second half underway

There's the half-time whistle. Sweden won't believe they aren't winning but the Colombians will be absolutely delighted not to be behind. Some of the misses from Sweden have been incredible, especially Landstrom's.

Sweden happy to knock the ball around in midfield but then resort to a long ball which is horribly over hit

Rodallega again the main threat for the South Americans as she tries to take on Svensson again, she gets a shot away but it's harmlessly wide

It's a very strong challenge from Montoya on Schelin and the Swedish free-kick is played in from the centre-circle into the penalty box, it bobbles around and is eventually cleared

Arias bursts forward from the back and hits a speculative long-range effort, it's well wide though

Forsberg puts in a dangerous cors which Sepulveda initially spills but recovers well to hold on to

Sweden pressing again now with both full-backs pushing forward, they can't quite make the telling pass though

The possession stat now at 50% each which you never would have expected after twenty minutes, Colombia have settled in well

Landstrom and Schelin looking to link-up again but the latter is offside for the second time. Schelin looking to play off the shoulder of the last defender but it's not paying off yet.

Sweden still the better time but it's much more even and Colombia having decent possession in the Swedish half

Schelin called offside although replays show she was well on, chance gone though

Landstrom and Schelin seem extremely good at setting chances up for each other, buit not so proficient at finishing them themselves
