Sweden W routs Lithuania W 10‑0 behind Schroder’s two goals
STOCKHOLM (Interstat) — Sweden W scored 10 unanswered goals and routed Lithuania W 10-0 Tuesday in a global football match, extending a dominant start to the competition. The home side controlled possession from the opening whistle, pressed Lithuania W deep and turned repeated attacks into a lopsided result. Sweden W improved to 2-0 in the competition and 2-0 across all competitions. Lithuania W fell to 0-2 in the competition and 0-2 overall.
Felicia Schroder was Sweden W’s top star, finishing with two goals and one assist in 61 minutes before she was substituted. Schroder, who had scored three goals in the teams’ earlier meeting this season, struck in the 37th minute and again in first-half stoppage time, then helped set up another goal. Her movement and finishing kept Lithuania W’s defense under constant pressure.
Nathalie Bjorn opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Sweden W an early lead. Stina Blackstenius doubled the advantage in the 16th, and Smilla Holmberg made it 3-0 in the 25th. Hanna Lundkvist added a fourth in the 30th. Schroder’s first goal came in the 37th, and her second arrived in the 45th minute plus one. By halftime, Sweden W had built a commanding cushion and Lithuania W had no answer.
Blackstenius scored her second goal in the 52nd minute. Amanda Ilestedt then scored twice, in the 60th and 81st minutes, capping a productive substitute appearance. Blackstenius played the full match and finished with two goals. Holmberg also went the distance and recorded a goal and an assist. Lundkvist played the full 90 minutes and scored once. Matilda Vinberg provided two assists over 90 minutes. Bella Andersson added an assist while playing the full match.
Sweden W’s midfield and wide play repeatedly unlocked Lithuania W. Filippa Angeldal contributed an assist in 44 minutes. Bjorn scored during his 46 minutes before being substituted at halftime. Ilestedt needed only 44 minutes to score twice after entering the match. Vinberg’s two assists helped stretch the Lithuania W back line, while Holmberg and Blackstenius combined to keep the attack flowing.
Lithuania W made changes in the 66th, 82nd and 88th minutes, but the substitutions could not slow Sweden W’s momentum. Romanovskaja T. and Griksaite M. were involved in the 66th. Mikutaite A. in the 82nd, and Kubiliute L. and Lazdauskaite U. in the 88th. Sweden W also made halftime substitutions involving Zigiotti Olme J., Sandberg A. and Bjorn N. Schroder was substituted in the 61st, and Anvegard A. came on.
The result mirrored Sweden W’s earlier dominance in the series. In the previous meeting this season, Sweden W won 5-0 at Lithuania W. That victory was part of Sweden W’s perfect start, while Lithuania W remained without a win. This time, Sweden W doubled its offensive output and kept Lithuania W off the scoreboard entirely.
Sweden W’s defense limited Lithuania W to few meaningful chances. The visiting side could not sustain possession or create enough pressure to disrupt the Swedish back line. Every time Lithuania W tried to push forward, Sweden W recovered and quickly turned defense into attack. The home team’s finishing was efficient, and the margin grew throughout the second half.
Sweden W’s competition record now stands at two wins and no losses. Lithuania W’s competition record is two losses and no wins. Across all competitions, Sweden W is 2-0 and Lithuania W is 0-2. The victory strengthens Sweden W’s position after a strong opening stretch and leaves Lithuania W still searching for its first result.
