Sweden produced a superlative performance to thrash Italy 5-0 and qualify for the round of 16 with a match to spare.
Two goals from Amanda Ilestedt plus one apiece from Fridolina Rolfo, Stina Blackstenius and Rebecka Blomqvist, gave the Swedes a well deserved victory.
This victory has boosted the chances of the Bayana Bayana of South Africa to qualify for the knockout stage.
Recall that yesterday, they threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Argentina.
This victory by Sweden will enable South Africa progress beyond the group stage if they defeat Italy and Sweden do not lose to Argentina.
