LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP)—Sweden struggled to a 1-0 victory over Colombia in 90-degree heat at the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday behind a 57th-minute goal by Jessica Landstrom.
Colombia is playing in the tournament for the first time. Before the
game, reserve goalkeeper Yineth Varon failed a drug test taken Saturday.
Landstrom scored from close range, set up by Lotta Schelin. Colombia’s star 17-year-old Yoreli Rincon was kept in check.
The game was played before a crowd of 21,106 at Bay Arena. Neither team was at its best because of the draining humidity and heat.
