FT
Thanks for joining us tonight, you can find the full match report here.
90'+4
THAT'S THE WHISTLE!
The "clash of the titans" ends in a 1-1 draw tonight. Two draws today in Group C, which means there is everything to play for.
90'+1
FOUR MINUTES OF ADDED TIME
Another four minutes to play, here.
88'
MARTENS OFF INJURED!
ANOTHER injury for Netherlands as Martens is forced off. Their squad has been absolutely decimated in this match, which doesn't bode well.
78'
SUBSTITUTION FOR NETHERLANDS
Roord and van De Donk are off, Beerensteyn and Pelova are on.
76'
CHANCE FOR NETHERLANDS!
Miedema crosses to Roord who is in a great position in front of the goal, but it's shut down. Great defence by Sweden.
71'
TRIPLE SUBSTITUTION FOR SWEDEN
Blackstenius is on! She’s joined by Rytting Kaneryd and Bennison, while Hurtig, Andersson and Angeldahl make way.
70'
NOT ANOTHER ONE?
It's van De Donk's turn to pull up a pew now - is she injured, too?
68'
ANOTHER BIG LEAP FOR WOMEN’S SPORT
A story you might have missed today, hot on the heels of concerns being raised about Wimbledon’s all-white kit policy and the impact on athletes on their periods, the FA have announced they will work with Nike on the Lionesses kit after players spoke about their white shorts. Really great to see more people talking about these issues and the impact on female athletes.
61'
CHANCE FOR MIEDEMA
Miedema fires just wide of the net now. The Dutch are looking much stronger in this second half.
58'
ANOTHER COLLISION
This time between Ilestedt and Martens. Martens looks a little stunned, but the sides play on..
53'
HERE SHE IS!
52'
GOAL! ROORD FINDS THE NET!
I spoke too soon. A wonderful low strike by Roord, slicing through the Swedish defence to find the net.
50'
A GAME OF COUNTER ATTACK
A brief period of end to end football here, which should be entertaining to watch, but neither side seems very close to scoring, at this point.
46'
WE'RE BACK!
A quick reminder that Sweden are 1-0 up as business resumes here at Bramall Lane, thanks to a goal by Jonna Andersson.
HT
HALFTIME
The halftime whistle blows and it's still 1-0 to Sweden. Fingers crossed for a more entertaining second half.
45'+6
SWEDISH DEFENCE WELL ORGANISED
The Swedish defence looks very well organised, but in truth, there's very little been asked of them in this first half. There's very little sense of urgency from either side.
45'+1
SEVEN MINUTES OF STOPPAGE TIME
It felt like a long time, and apparently it was. Seven minutes of stoppage time to be played, now.
45'
NETHERLANDS CAN'T CATCH A BREAK
Van de Donk shoots at the goal but fires over the bar, meanwhile Netherlands are forced to make another substitution as Aniek Nouwen hobbles off, to be replaced by Marisa Olislagers.
36'
GOAL! ANDERSSON SCORES FOR SWEDEN!
Almost from nowhere, Jonna Andersson taps the ball into the back of the net from close range to put Sweden 1-0 up.
