Courtney Brosnan 8: Player of the match. The custodian thwarted Stina Blackstenius early on and produced a great save to tip over Filippa Angeldahl’s long-range 36th-minute effort. However, could do nothing for the opening goal as the deflection wrong-footed her. Pulled off a fine save to deny Blackstenius on 66, then parried Fridolina Rolfo’s drive on 69.

Jamie Finn 5: Left exposed in the first half by balls over the top. Was lucky not to concede a penalty for what seemed a 19th-minute foul on Blackstenius. Booked for a 53rd-minute challenge on Lina Hurtig. Substituted for the final 16 minutes.
