They scored from the penalty, it came from nowhere. After that, we gave them the opportunity to score another one and that is a problem. We lost a little bit of concentration.While disappointed by the result, the Swedish coach was satisfied with the teams overall effort.Otherwise, I think the performance was pretty good. We knew we were playing the previous champions maybe the toughest game we can play, he added.The Black Queens will aim to bounce back when they face Mali on July 11, before wrapping up their group stage against Tanzania.
