Spain sunk Sweden with the last kick of the match. Kosovare Asllani, 34, believes that the decisive penalty was completely wrong. "It's really sour," she told SVT Sport.


It was in the last minute of the match that Amanda Ilestedt went down in the penalty area. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, Ilestedt was sent off and Spain decided the match.

"I definitely don't think it's a penalty. I hardly think it's a situation, says Kosovare Asllani and continues:

"To get a red and a penalty on it in the last part of the game... It's really poorly done.

The midfield star is disappointed after the late decision.

"It's the most brutal way to lose a match," Asllani said.
