Swedes blank Nigeria 3-0, next play Brazil
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS - Sweden joined Team USA as teams advancing from Group A of the Women's World Cup by beating Nigeria 3-0 Sunday at Crew Stadium.
The Swedes will face Brazil, which beat them in the 1995 World Cup and the 2000 Olympics.
"We don't have a good history with Brazil, but we are getting closer to a victory when we've lost so many times," coach Marika Domanski Lyfors said.
Hanna Ljungberg broke a personal scoring slump Sunday with her first two goals of the tournament's first round.
The Swedes sealed the victory with two goals in a one-minute span.
