Landstrom nets winner
LEVERKUSEN: A 57th-minute goal from Jessica Landstrom got Sweden's women's World Cup campaign off the mark here on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over newcomer Colombia in their opening Group C tie.
It was a worthy debut on the world stage for the young Colombians after the news that veteran goalkeeper Yineth Varon had been kicked out of the tournament for failing a doping test.
Freak goal
Meanwhile on Monday, a freak long-range goal from Mexico forward Monica Ocampo saw it hold England to a 1-1 draw in their opening Group B match.
The 24-year-old's effort in the 33rd minute was enough to share the points in Wolfsburg after England midfielder Fara Williams had earlier put the Three Lions ahead.
The results: Group C: Colombia 0 lost to Sweden 1 (Landstrom 57); Group B: England 1 (Williams 21) drew with Mexico 1 (Ocampo 33) . — Agencies
