Sweden beat Portugal 5-0 and is ready for the quarter-finals.
Philippa Engeldahl scored two goals, one with a different free kick.
– We studied it after the victory she says.
Sweden crushed Portugal 5-0 in the last group game of the European Championship, which also means they won their group.
– Of course it’s good to come first, which gives the best starting point, but I didn’t think much about that, he says Philippa Engeldahl.
She was responsible for both the first and second goals which came after a great free-kick type as Kosovar Aslani hit the ball diagonally inwards back along the ground to Engeldahl who pulled the ball straight into the goal.
I got to know the coach after the win.
– We have studied them and they are very low and they open this surface and then it is only thanks and receiving. It was a different species that we took with us for this match and studied.
“I went to the triple”
Her first goal came after a corner kick.
– It means a lot, we are generally very dangerous in fixed situations, but unfortunately we weren’t so smart before in the previous two games.
Was it said that you and Cos would drive it?
– I often use another ball and Kosei hits them, and one of the variables we talked about is that we are awake during the match if the area is big and then we can’t drive. It looked easy on the field but I didn’t see it after that, she says.
The midfielder was also happy to score at the end.
– It’s cute, good for self-confidence, and incredibly fun. I’ve never had any shooting opportunities before, so now I’ve had two, so it’s very nice of them to be seated. I said I’d go take a triple now, said Engeldahl, but she didn’t come.
