Women's World Cup 2023 third-place play-off as it happened - Rolfo and Asllani give Sweden win over Australia

Sweden clinch a bronze medal for the fourth time at a World Cup thanks to this 2-0 win over co-hosts Australia.

The Matildas can hold their heads high, though, after an unforgettable campaign where they made history.

Cooney-Cross' free-kick effort fails to test Musovic, who has enjoyed a solid night in Sweden's goal.

Hurtig is booked for kicking the ball away.

Australia determined to end on a high note but Van Egmond gets her effort all wrong, dragging a shot wide.

Rubensson is booked for a foul on Chidiac.

Sweden are happy to sit back, absorb pressure and try to hit the Australians on the break again. Kaneryd goes on a mazy run but eventually runs into trouble.

Australia are huffing and puffing but time is running out and they don't look like scoring once let alone twice.

So, Sweden are heading for a fourth bronze medal at the World Cup.

Kerr is back on the pitch but isn't running freely. Considering the number of games she has missed at her home World Cup, she will be desperate to remain on the pitch.

Kerr has been caught by Eriksson and looks in some pain. Australia initially continued their attack but attention can now be given to the striker.

After some treatment, she hobbles off the pitch. Whether she continues or not remains to be seen.

Carpenter and Polkinghorne are off, Chidiac and Nevin are on.

A final roll of the dice.

Desperate to produce a comeback, Australia are seeing more of the ball now but Sweden are looking very comfortable in defence. Would take some effort to turn this game around from here.

Asllani, who has been excellent, and Blackstenius - also superb - make way for Blomqvist and Hurtig.

Blackstenius is through on goal - initially looks onside - but can't find a way past the onrushing Arnold. The offside flag is then raised.

Sweden double their advantage with a well-taken goal!

It comes from a devastating counter-attack, started by Asllani, who drives into the middle before releasing Blacksteinus. She checks back inside and gives it back to Asllani, who buries a shot into the bottom corner from outside the box.

On comes Van Egmond and Vine, replacing Gorry and Raso.

A slightly more attacking formation from the co-hosts now.

Fowler brings down Asllani on the edge of the box, but Sweden make a total mess of a free-kick routine.

Australia are taking a lot of risks by consistently trying to play out from the back, and Sweden are pressing high, making life difficult for them.
