The Swedes, who finished third in 2019, battled back to beat South Africa while Jamaica held France and in the day’s other game, the Netherlands claimed a narrow win over Portugal. Here the PA news agency takes a look at all of Sunday’s action.

Portugal substitute Telma Encarnacao had a late effort saved by Daphne van Domselaar.

Defender Ilestedt then nodded in the winner in the 90th minute.
