Sweden book final spot in U17 Women's Football Tournament after defeating Thailand 3-1

Sweden moved into the final of the U17 Women's Football Tournament 2019 with 3-1 victory against Thailand at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday. The Europeans were quick to seize the initiative after the referee's whistle, creating more chances than the Thai side. Twenty-five minutes into the game, Swedish forward Ellika Holmberg was put through on goal but her shot from a tight angle was put out for a corner by Thailand custodian Pawarisa Homyamyen. However, she could do nothing as Sweden took the lead a minute later from the resulting set-piece. Marwa Said was the quickest to react to a loose ball inside the penalty area after the corner was played in and she slammed home a powerful volley to give her side the lead. She could have added a second five minutes before the breather after Holmberg's square pass inside the 18-yard box. With the keeper beaten and an open goal gaping, Said's shot went wide. Thailand's best chance of the first half came in the 29th minute through Suchavadee
