As with the other groups, the élite separated themselves from the rest in Group C on SAT 02 JUL 2011.
» Korea DPR 00-01 Sweden: The Swedes passed a difficult test on the day on the back of Lisa DAHLKVIST’s goal midway through the second half. Shortly after, Sara THUNEBRO kept the three points safe as she headed away RI Un Hyang’s shot off the line. But Caroline SEGER was issued her second booking in as many matches and will be suspended for Sweden’s last group match.
» United States 03-00 Colombia: The US took the lead twelve minutes in with a spectacular long range strike from Heather O’REILLY. Katerin CASTRO would have equalised just before halftime but was offside; the Americans took full advantage and added goals from Megan RAPINOE and Carli LLOYD in the second half. The US and Sweden are both now assured of a place in the elimination phase.
