A pair of goals from Swedish forward Stina Blackstenius spelled catastrophe for the U.S. women's national team on Wednesday, as the four-time Olympic gold medallists suffered a shock 3-0 defeat in their Tokyo 2020 debut.

Fifth-ranked Sweden put the pressure on almost immediately with three shots in the first eight minutes, while the USA showed little sign of the stellar unbeaten run they have enjoyed since 2019.
