43 mins: Another chance! Rolfö this time on the counter, making a hash of a right-footed curler from the D with plenty of time to attack the retreating and shorthanded Australian defence.

41 mins: Now Angeldal isn’t far off, lacing a rising thunderbastard that just whooshes over the angle of post and bar.

40 mins: For a minute or more Sweden treat Brisbane like their private training facility, working the ball one way then the other at varying speeds, keeping the ball out of reach of Australia’s forlorn chasers. Eventually Rolfö picks out Asllani with a cross but the volleyed effort is straight at Arnold.

39 mins: Now Sweden get the chance to take some sting out of the match, control possession and return some structure to proceedings.

37 mins: Sam Kerr has come to play tonight, prompting me to drift into a medley of “what-ifs”. She links up twice with Cooney-Cross and acrobatically controls the ball on the edge of the box but Sweden hold their line and clear. They have a chance on the counterattack but fail to connect midfield and attack.

36 mins: The first break in play all half (aside from the VAR check) is for Eriksson to receive treatment after wearing the back of Kerr’s head to her face while climbing over the back of her Chelsea teammate to win a header.
