Sweden will face Netherlands for a place in the World Cup final after a stunning victory over Germany in the blistering heat of Roazhon Park.
Germany went in to the quarter-final as favourites, having not lost to Sweden in a major tournament since 1995 and having beaten them in four major finals. Peter Gerhardsson’s Sweden matched them stride for stride, though, with the impressive Stina Blackstenius striking what proved the winner early in the second half.
