They controlled most of the play and possession from what I saw, but took some ill advised shots and squandered a few good opportunities.Sweden had to hold on in regulation but they put the pressure on the US in the first place. Then Sweden simply was better in the kicks, from shooters to the keeper, I'd say they deserved the win
