In the heart-pounding World Cup - Women's football match between Sweden and USA on August 6, 2023, the Swedish women showcased incredible resilience and tactical prowess, betting odds aside, ultimately edging out their American counterparts with a final score of 5 - 4.

In what was a closely contested encounter, the home team Sweden took the lead first with a goal from a penalty kick at the very start of the game. This initial momentum set the tone and demonstrated how aggressive and decisive Sweden could be with their attacking play.

Both teams had relatively equal disciplinary records, with only one yellow card handed out to each team throughout the match. Notably, the USA women's yellow card arrived at the last moments of overtime in the second half, indicating a slight dip in their discipline as the match progressed into the crucial final minutes.

A comparison of set pieces, in this case, corner kicks, shows the USA dominating the corners with a total of 9 attempts as opposed to Sweden's 3. However, it seems that such advantages failed to translate into goals. Here, the Swedish team demonstrated notable defensive organization, successfully denying USA with their higher number of corner attempts.

As for the disruptive plays, Sweden was called offsides once, while the USA women found themselves caught offside a worrying four times. The higher offside count for the USA may indicate a lack of coordination on the offensive line, leading to these missed attacking opportunities.

In terms of fouls, the Swedish team committed 15 fouls against USA's 11. Aside from highlighting the confrontational nature of the match, this stat reflects an aggressive play style from Sweden, supporting their strong attacking performance seen in their five goals.

In conclusion, despite these statistical parameters showing a balanced game, with equal discipline records between the two teams, the defining moments were perhaps the Swedish team’s successful penalty kick at the start and their defensive prowess in denying USA team's corner kicks advantage. Moreover, fewer offside calls also allowed Sweden more attacking opportunities. Credit must also be given to the Swedish girls for maintaining their pressure and offensive gameplay despite committing more fouls, translating their aggression to their advantage in the 5 - 4 victory over the USA.
