Schelin sees Swedes through to semi-finals

Lotta Schelin scored one goal and set up another yesterday as Sweden beat Australia 3-1 to reach the semi-finals of the women's World Cup in Germany.

Having set up Therese Sjogran for the opening goal in the 11th minute, Schelin made the match safe in the 52nd. Schelin capitalized on a poor back pass from Kim Carroll, took one touch past goalkeeper Melissa Barbieri before slotting the ball into the unguarded net. The result means Sweden also qualify for the London Olympics next year.
