England has made a success of its appointment with History.
In front of 28,000 spectators won over to their cause, the English made short work of their Swedish opponents.
Dominated at the very start of the match, they finally won by a wide margin (4-0).
The movie of the game
Not everything was rosy at the start for the English on Tuesday evening.
At the start of the game, the Swedes had the upper hand, but failed to capitalize on their chances.
In the 8th minute, they even touched the English crossbar, in vain.
At the end of the first period, the locals were able to reverse the trend.
In the 34th minute of play, Beth Mead perfectly adjusted her half-volley to give hers the advantage, against the run of the game. England were then quick to make the break.
As soon as the second half resumed, Beth Mead, again, dropped a corner on the head of Lucy Bronze at the far post, which crossed perfectly (2-0, 48th).
The hour of play passed, the British definitely drive the point home thanks to a splendid heel from Alessia Russo (3-0, 68th), before worsening the mark ten minutes later (4-0, 77th).
WHAT.
A. PERFORMANCE.
WE ARE HEADING TO THE #WEURO2022 FINAL!

Player: Beth Mead
She never stops carrying her team in this Euro.
Beth Mead sits at the top of the tournament's top scorer rankings.
Against Sweden, she scored her 6th goal in just 5 games.
Without her first achievement, the scenario could have been very different, as her team was in difficulty at the start of the match, against more aggressive Swedes.
But the Arsenal striker didn't stop there.
She is also the author of two assists.
That of the break, first, after returning from the locker room, then the last achievement of his team, in the 77th minute of play. Beth Mead has therefore been decisive 10 times since the start of the Euro, with 4 assists in addition to his 6 achievements.
LOVE IT, MEADO!
