The flag initially went up for offside but, following a VAR review, it was determined that Jill Roord had not impeded the goalkeeper and the effort stood.

Sweden had to leave it late to beat South Africa having battle from a goal down to eventually got a goal at the 90th minute of the match. Hildah Magaia put South Africa in front in the early minutes of second half before Fridolina Rolfo level and Amanda Ilestedt score in the dying minutes to seal victory for the European side.
