'It makes me sick to my stomach.” Swedish soccer star Lina Hurtig talks about rewatching her winning penalty against the United States, which crossed the goal line by the narrowest of margins.
Sweden was on the brink of losing Sunday’s shootout at the Women’s World Cup, only for Megan Rapinoe and Sophia Smith to both miss for the US and Hanna Bennison to score, sending the match to sudden death penalties. After Kelley O’Hara had hit the post, Hurtig stepped up and saw her effort clawed out of the goal by Alyssa Naeher.
In what is often seen as a psychological – as well as technical – battle, both teams had their goalkeepers pass the ball over to the next penalty taker during the shootout, a tactic intended to make players more relaxed ahead of their spot kicks. Sweden had also worked with a psychologist to help handle the pressure of a shootout, which assistant coach Magnus Wikman says was a crucial part of the team’s preparation.
