Sweden's Women Dominate Denmark, Securing Nations League Semifinal Spot and Boosting EM Prospects

Sweden's women's national football team delivered an impressive performance, overpowering Denmark 6-1 in their latest Nations League match, solidifying their position in the upcoming semifinals. The star of the match was Stina Blackstenius, who found her scoring touch with a hat trick, helping to boost the team's confidence ahead of the European Championship, which begins on July 4, 2025, against Denmark.

The match began with a quick opener from Blackstenius just 37 seconds in, followed by goals from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Filippa Angeldahl, establishing a commanding 3-0 lead within the first ten minutes. Although Denmark managed to score with a goal from Janni Thomsen, Sweden retaliated with two additional goals from Blackstenius, who expressed her joy at contributing to the team's scoring spree, saying, "I am super happy."

This convincing victory ensures Sweden's advancement to the Nations League semifinals, with the team having required only a draw for qualification. Team captain Rytting Kaneryd acknowledged the match's effect on their morale, emphasizing its importance for their self-confidence following earlier struggles to find the net during the tournament.

Coaching changes loom in the background as Peter Gerhardsson, who made five lineup changes before this match, prepares to step down after the European Championship, passing leadership to Tony Gustavsson.

The overwhelming win not only secures Sweden a spot in the semifinals but also provides a significant confidence boost as they prepare for their opener in the European Championship. The team's swift and decisive action on the field against Denmark serves as a positive signal heading into this major international tournament.
