Good evening and welcome to our coverage of Sweden v USA in Wolfsburg as the teams fight it out for top spot of Group C of the Women's World Cup

The pace of the Swedish forwards is really giving the American centre-backs some problems

Sweden win the corner which Thunebro delivers but it's far too deep and a goal-kick for USA is the result

Lepeilbet looks to atone for her error bursting forward and setting up Cheney whose shot is wide

GOAL FOR SWEDEN!!! Solo goes the right way and nearly gets there but Dahlkvist's penalty is top quality and finds the left hand corner

Penalty Kick!!! Lepeilbet clatters into Schelin who was bursting in on goal, she concedes a penalty but is extremely lucky to avoid being sent off. It was a stone wall sending off and once the referee gave the penalty she had to produce the red.

Rodriguez plays a reverse ball into the inside left channel and Wambach hits it first time just inside the area but it's fairly comfortable for Lindahl

Poor timing of her run from Oqvist as she had acres of space to run into but went to early and Schelin's pass was wasted

Sjogran whips the cross in, Fischer got ehr head to the ball put puts it wide

Forsberg with a brilliant cross from the right flank, Krieger watched it well though and put it out for a corner

Very sloppy from Thunebro as she hands the ball to Lloyd twenty-five yards out and she was always going to shoot but it's well over

Great chance for Sweden and Schelin. Straight from the goal-kick the ball evades the American cerntre-backs and Schelin was through on goal, it was a golden chance but she couldn't find the corner and Solo kept it out with her feet.

Lloyd gurst forward from central midfield and fancied her chances as she hit it from twenty-five yards but it flew wide

Oqvist and Buehler tustling to get hold of the ball twenty yards from the American goal, it looked to be a good physical battle but the referee saw it as a foul to USA

Cheney again gets on the ball, this time on the edge of the box, her attempted bass to Wambach is wayward though

Certainly no hint of a dead rubber here as both teams playing at a very high tempo and the USA full-backs pushing forward early on

Cheney with an early cross from the left looking for Rodriguez, it looked like it was going to land right on her head but it just floated away and was swept up by Lindahl

The two newcomers to the Swedish side nearly link-up early on as Fischer looks to find Oqvist who was racing through but it was well cut out by Krieger

Sweden get the game underway.

The referee for tonight's game is Etsuko Fukano from Japan.

With the Brazilians having scored seven and conceded none in their opening three matches, getting a result tonight and avoiding them is a huge incentive for the two teams

These two teams have played each other an incredible 28 times in the past and USA have the better of their previous encounters. The Americans have won seventeen and only lost four, seven games have been drawn.
