Good evening, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the first round-of-16 game of the Women's World Cup - Germany v Sweden!

Mittag topples over in the box again but not even she thinks she should have a penalty this time.

Germany are pressing and pressing for that third now - successive corners before half-time.

Sweden defend a Germany corner relatively decently, but can't get it clear - every time they try to get it away there are seemingly scores of Germany players lining up to have a shot.

Maier opts to have a dig from distance - a two-goal cushion is likely to make Silvia Neid less angry when the shot flies over the bar again.

GOAL! Sasic sends Lindahl the wrong way.

Ilestedt stretched her leg out to get the ball off Mittag, but doesn't look like she got anywhere near either that or the player. Perhaps a touch harsh. The black clouds of that rubbery stuff on the turf might have obstructed the referee's view.

PENALTY TO GERMANY!

Ooh, and a cross-cum-shot down the other end from Rubensson, but that's wide.

Laudehr on the run, chased all the way by Sjogran - it's ushered out of play and then Laudehr goes flying head first over the advertising hoardings. She's fine.

Sasic bounces in to Samuelsson as she heads into the box, and Sweden get the free kick - that could easily have been given the other way.

Free kick is nicely directed in by Fischer, but Nadine Angerer is dominant and powerful, punching that away.

Foul on Jakobssen, taken down on the run by Bartusiak, who gets a yellow card for that.

Mittag's strike itself wasn't the best, but her combination with Sasic has been excellent as is her movement off the ball. Lindahl will be disappointed with her positioning.

GOAL! A fifth goal of the tournament for Anja Mittag, curling it past Emma Lindahl who just can't do anything about that.

The ball goes out for a throw-in, and Pia Sundhage heads it back.

Germany are beautiful to watch, quick, fluid, and creating so much space for themselves.
