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.

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

Schelin very nearly in again as she bursts onto a through ball but Sepulveda is out like lightning and does brilliantly to make a clearance outside the box

Sweden showing their frustration as they give away another free-kick just inside the Colombian half

Forsberg offers a threat down the right again for Sweden but she is eventually closed out at the by-line before she can get a cross in, the chance disapates.

Sweden will be rueing those missed chances now as Colombia are getting a foothold in the game now and are getting some sustained possession for the first time

Yoreli Rincon lines it up from thirty-five yards out but her shot is poor and trickles wide of the post

Seger receives a yellow card for that challenge on Montoya, it was quite late.

Rodallega looks lively down the left for Colombia as she skips past her marker, she cuts inside and plays in Montoya who wins the free-kick against Seger

Colombia are making more tackles than they were prviously in midfield, and are making it difficult for Sweden

The Swedes have lost a bit of the momentum that they had developed, but still are in control of the match and especially the midfield battle

Colombia show that they can threaten as Ospina gets on the ball in midfield, waits for the run of Usme and then very nearly plays her in, but the pass is slightly over-hit

Forsberg overlaps brilliantly down the right and puts a good looking cross in but there was no one in the six yard box so Sepulveda's half punch is good enough to clear

The corner is cleared but it's going to come straight back from the half-way line, Sweden having all the possession

Dahlkvist the latest to get a shot in but it's deflected behind for a corner on the edge of the area

Usme is the main goal threat for the Colombians but she is forced to drop incredibly deep to try and pick up some possession

Gaitan back on the field and seems fine

The game is back under way and Sweden on the attack again. Schelin finds some space on the left of the penalty box but her cross-come-shot drifts harmlessly wide

Sweden's warm up games for the tournament have been reasonable but not overwhelming, narrowly beating Canada and Mexico, drawing with Japan and suffering defeat to England.

The stretcher-bearers are on and it could be the end of the game for the Colombian captain Natalia Gaitan

Gaitan and Landstrom collide and it's the Colombian who comes off much worse. There didn't seem like there was much malice from the Swede, but Gaitan doesn't look in a good way.

It looks a complete mis-match in midfield with Sweden totally dominant, but as long as it's 0-0 Colombia are right in it
