Germany vs Sweden LIVE Women's World Cup 2019: Stream, latest score and goal updates as Stina Blackstenius strikes in quarter-final

Follow the latest updates live from the last World Cup quarter-final as Germany face Sweden for a place in the last four against the Netherlands.

Sweden have not beaten Germany at a World Cup in 24 years since their 1995 triumph, but having beaten Canada in the last 16 they harbour hopes of recording the biggest upset of the World Cup so far. Germany meanwhile are yet to concede a goal in France, having beaten China, Spain and South Africa in the group stage and Nigeria in the last 16. The Netherlands awaits the winner of this quarter-final after they beat Italy 2-0 earlier in the day, while the other side of the draw sees England take on defending champions the United States.

Lina Magull gave Germany the lead after 16 minutes with a wonderful finish after some fine build-up play, but Sweden retaliated just six minutes later as Sofia Jakobsson pounced on a hopeful long ball to level the match against the run of play. Stina Blackstenius then gave Sweden the lead after a positive start to the second half, smashing home on the rebound. Follow the live action below.
