65' 0-2 Germany mazy short-ping at box top right, tap back to Marozsán at 24m mid-right. One-touch(?) chip high to 8m center, Popp back-cuts the defense and stands under it, waiting -- volleys high wide right. 66' 0-2 Sweden subs in (2 of 3) #19 Pauline Hammarlund for #9 Kosovare Asllani. 67' 1-2 Asllani(?) passes from 25m center to Schough at 14m mid-right, one-touch pass to 5m center. Blackstenius lunge-slides past her mark and pokes past Schult, into 1/3 left. 68' 1-2 Germany longball from midfield wide left to arc top, Marozsán(?) chests ball facing away. Pass right to Leupolz at 14m mid-right, shoots to center low, Lindahl blocks with body but ball rebounds to 6-top. Sweden collect and clear. 70' 1-2 Germany subs in (1 of 3) #8 Lena Goeßling for #7 Melanie Behringer. 70' 1-2 Sweden subs in (3 of 3) #6 Magdalena Eriksson for #16 Elin Rubensson.
Why Bartusiak goes forward, leaving defense basically uncovered? Could have been a bad situation for Germany...
76' 1-2 Marozsán ground cross from 5m wide right, stopped by Sembrandt(?) at mid-right. Maier collects, spins away to 8m, shoots left foot to center low, Lindahl smothers it. 78' 1-2 Seger swim-moves Maier aside with arms and hops past her, Maier slide-tackles and toe-pokes Seger in the shins. Foul on Seger. 82' 1-2 Popp lifts left knee to settle/poke a high ball at arc top mid-left, hooks that foot around Sembrandt's and trips past her. Foul, yellow card on Sembrandt. 83' 1-2 Germany subs in (2 of 3) #19 Svenja Huth for #13 Sara Däbritz. 84' 1-2 Germany fk at arc top mid-left, to 1/4 right high, Lindahl pushes it over. 85' 1-2 Schult distributes wide left toward Bartusiak stranded at circle back wide left -- Schelin intercepts, chases down to 10m wide right. Kemme recovers and harasses, Schelin cuts through 12m box right. Cross deflects high to 15m center, Seger settles but can't turn-and-shoot, steps forward and shot deflects wide right.
I'll hand it to Chenard: she gives out cards when they are warranted. GF has been rather consistent tonight. This match is lit: Germany dishing it and Sweden pushing back.
Ne1 got a good link to this... I'm on a bus in the middle of Colombian with wifi and trying to pick the game up somehow... Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
87' 1-2 Sweden longball up wide left, Schelin chases alone to 15m, pulls up in a 1-v-1. Schelin drives to 3m mid-left, cross outswings to 9m mid-right. Schough settles, swings left roundhouse -- whiff 2nd shot blocked, Germany clear into far touch. Where is Germany's backline? They can't close out a game, either 89' 1-2 Germany serve toward 8m 1/3 left, bicycled away. 2nd serve to spot, Popp jumps and back-heads on-frame, Lindahl catches face-high. 89' 1-2 Schelin turns through box top mid-left to 10m, slide-tackled over. 90' 1-2 Schough left ck, to 4m 1/3 right, Schult slaps it away. Schough regains at 6m box left, jukes Maier to 2m mid-left -- cross drifts too far right, misses everybody, into far touch. Deflected? +2'. 90+1' (of +2') 1-2 Sweden right ck, high to 8m right post. Crazy sequence, ball leaks to Schelin at 6-top right, she can't turn-and-shoot -- ball trickles back to Schough at 9m, she can't turn either. Schough steps through the wall, pokes to Schelin -- they mark each other Germany clear. FT 1-2.
Yay, Germany! Yay, Sweden! I ain't bitter. That was a fantastic display of football. Auf Weidersehen, Silvia!
Congrats, Germany! First-time Olympic gold medalists! Sweden and Germany, thanks to both for entertaining us!
