23'
LUCKY TO ESCAPE A BOOKING?
Aigbogun gets a talking to a foul on Hurtig that might have received a harsher punishment in the second half. She needs to be careful - another yellow today will see her suspended for the final group game
20'
SWEDEN PRESSING
The Blue and Yellows are certainly on top now. Asllani is played in down the left channel of the area, but a terrific tackle from Aigbogun prevents her from crossing
17'
SWEDEN CLAIM HAND-BALL
Blackstenius feeds Kosovare Asllani in the box, and her fierce strike thumps into Eseosa Aigbogun. The Swedes think it hit her arm, but those appeals are waved away
15'
GETTING A BIT SCRAPPY?
There's not been any real momentum for either side so far, with cheap free-kicks being given away by both midfields.
11'
NO PENALTY!
The referee takes a look at the replay, which clearly shows Eriksson to take the ball before tripping Maritz. Sweden breathe a sigh of relief!

HOLD ON...
VAR have told the referee to take a look at the video replay
9'
PENALTY SWITZERLAND!
Magdalena Eriksson brings down Noelle Maritz in the box and the referee points straight to the spot. The Swiss player was pulling the trigger to cross the ball, only to get tripped
7'
SWITZERLAND GETTING THEIR FOOT ON THE BALL
They've not got over the half-way line much so far, but Switzerland finally get a little spell of passing going before cheaply giving away possession when looking to break forward
5'
FIRST SHOT TO SWEDEN
A free-kick from deep is chipped in towards the dangerous Fridolina Rolfo, but she can't direct her header towards goal. Strong start from the Swedes
3'
KEY CLEARANCE
Sweden nick the ball in midfield and nearly break through on goal, only for Viola Calligaris to make a vital interception

HERE WE GO!
Sweden are in their famous yellow top, blue shorts and yellow socks, while Switzerland wear all red. It'll be the latter to kick things off after both teams take the knee. We're underway!
16:56
TIME FOR THE ANTHEMS
The two teams emerge from the tunnel to a real rousing reception and now it's time for the anthems. There's a really good crowd inside Bramall Lane
16:51
SWISS HOPING TO END A BARREN RUN
Switzerland on the other hand are seven without a victory, dating back to a 7-0 thumping of Lithuania in a World Cup Qualifier in November. They haven't gone winless in eight games since May 2003 to March 2005
16:50
THE FORM BOOK
Sweden are on a tremendous run at the moment. Their last defeat came on penalties in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics final to Canada, while they haven't lost over 90 minutes since March 2020, when Denmark ground out a 2-1 victory
16:48
HEAD TO HEAD RECORD
This is just the second time these two countries have met, with Sweden have winning the previous two clashes; 4-1 at the Algarve Cup in 2019 and a 1-0 victory in an Olympic Qualifier three years earlier
16:42
ATMOSPHERE BUILDING
Plenty of fans have made the journey to the Steel City and they're making a lot of noise!
16:40
TOUR DE FRANCE DRAMA
It's been an incredible day of racing at the Tour de France. Catch-up on all of the action as the race for the yellow jersey took yet more twists and turns here
16:37
DESTINATION: SHEFFIELD
Sheffield United's Bramall Lane is the venue for this fixture. It also hosted Sweden's draw with the Netherlands, so The Blue and Yellows should be familiar with their surroundings

SWITZERLAND LOOKING TO MAKE HISTORY
Switzerland meanwhile have only reached the European Championships once before, back in 2017 when they were knocked out in the group stages. A win tonight would be a huge boost to their hopes of progressing
16:32
SWEDEN'S STRONG EUROS RECORD
Sweden have an impressive history in the Women's European Championships. They won the first tournament, back in 1984, and have never failed to reach the knock-out stages when qualifying for the tournament. They last reached the final in 2001, when they lost to Germany
16:24
HARSH CHANGES?
Kiwic scored for Switzerland in their opening game as they drew 2-2 with Portugal, while Andersson struck for Sweden during a 1-1 stalemate with the Netherlands. It's not enough for either to retain their place, though
