Easier said than done, of course.ShareKari Tulinius writes: “In every major tournament of the last decade, I look at Sweden and think that they look settled, talented and have a clear plan, and feel that they’ll go home with the gold. This time around I had decided I wouldn’t fall into that trap again, that I’d finally learned my lesson. But now, with Blackstenius in great form, a really balanced midfield and solid defence, I find myself thinking that this could finally be their year. Clearly I never learn.”ShareI feel for the Polish left-back Wiankowska, who has been left with no help up against Kaneryd and co – Sweden have targeted that side and scored twice from crosses from the right side.ShareGOAL! Poland 0-2 Sweden (Asllani 52′)Just as Polish fans were beginning to hope, Kaneryd floats in another lovely cross from the right, and this time, Asllani is there to head home!Share51 mins: The corner is cleared, but there are some positive signs for Poland with the two substitutes, who both started against Germany, making an impact.Share49 mins: Pajor quickly involved again, her shot on the turn blocked and Padilla’s low effort deflected behind. More attacking threat from Poland in two minutes here than in the entire first half …Share48 mins: Pajor carries the ball upfield and her shot deflects into Falk’s arms, with Padilla lurking.ShareUpdated at 21.09 BST47 mins: Again, Sweden work the ball into the box quickly, where Blackstenius’ shot is blocked. They’re almost trying to walk it in, but then Poland break …Share46 mins: Rytting Kaneryd whips in another dangerous cross from the right, which Szemik parries away under pressure.ShareSecond halfTwo half-time changes for Poland: Ewelina Kamczyk and Natalia Padilla are on for Krezyman and Grabowska. For Sweden, Jonna Andersson is on for Nilden, who picked up an injury in the first half.ShareWales are facing France in St Gallen – but were left “shaken” when their team bus was involved in a collision with a car on their way to training.ShareTomorrow, it’s England v the Netherlands – and Vivianne Miedema is going up against her partner, Beth Mead. Does the Dutch forward have mixed feelings? Not really …ShareA half-time plug for our exceptional interactive player-by-player guide.ShareHalf time: Poland 0-1 SwedenJanogy spins away from Matysik and into space but is (harshly) penalised to deny Sweden one more break. They could have had three or four goals, but have just the one Stina Blackstenius goal to show for their dominance so far.Share47 mins: Pajor does get into the area to meet a cross, but it’s claimed by Falk, who is then bumped to the floor by the Polish striker.Share46 mins: Pajor is penalised for a foul; she’s feeling frustrated, having been unable to get involved in the game.Share45 mins: Three added minutes. Sweden have put in 23 crosses in the first-half. They’ve got a strategy, and they’re sticking with it.Share44 mins: Rytting Kaneryd floats in a cross and despite the attentions of two centre-backs, Blackstenius gets her head to the ball first – but sends her header over the bar!Share42 mins: Big chance for Sweden! Bjorn reads Wos’s attempted pass upfield and plays in Blackstenius, who’s onside and one-on-one. Her shot is undercooked, though, and Szemik is able to turn it behind!Share40 mins: Amanda Nilden, who didn’t feature in Sweden’s first game, stays down after a collision with Tomasiak. Jonna Andersson is sent from the subs’ bench to warm up, just in case.ShareUpdated at 20.42 BST39 mins: We’re back under way, Asllani trying but failing to race on to a long ball, with Wos shepherding it out of play.Share37 mins: Sylwia Matysik goes down after a clash of heads with Janogy. While she receives treatment, both sets of players grab a drinks break.Share36 mins: The one-way traffic continues with Rytting Kanerud unable to get her shot away under pressure. Poland have defended their area well, the trouble is that Sweden are getting there all too often.Share34 mins: As I type that, Blackstenius turns sharply in the box and hits a shot that might have crept in, were it not for a slight deflection off Wos. Sweden corner, but the whistle blows for a foul on Poland’s keeper, Kinga Szemik.Share32 mins: Matysik tackles left-back Nilden and the throw-in goes Poland’s way. They need to try and keep this to a one-goal deficit at half-time …Share31 mins: On the goal – Sweden have looked to overload down the right flank, with Asllani, Angeldahl and Kaneryd taking turns to push forward. It felt like the best route to break Poland down, and has paid off inside half an hour.Share30 mins: Pajor and Asllani grapple for the ball and the Sweden captain is booked – harshly, I would suggest, given that Pajor was the first to grab her opponent’s shirt.ShareGOAL! Poland 0-1 Sweden (Blackstenius 28′)Well, it had been coming – and now Sweden have the lead! Asllani runs on to Angeldahl’s pass and lifts in a cross for the unmarked Stina Blackstenius to head home.Sweden’s Stina Blackstenius heads home to open the scoring against Poland.

That’s the kind of chance we’ve seen her bury on many occasions.Share20 mins: Matysik gets across well to heave the ball out of touch with Janogy threatening to get beyond her. Sweden fans are here in big numbers – there are pockets of yellow shirts all around the ground.Share18 mins: A Polish cross evades Krezyman in the area and Sweden break downfield, only for Blackstenius’ control to let her down with Angeldahl and Asllani arriving in the area.Share16 mins: Eek! Wos dallies on the ball and is robbed by Blackstenius – and has Matysik to thank after the right-back cuts out the cross to Janogy, who would have surely scored.Share14 mins: Ewa Pajor is having to drop back to the halfway line to get involved – but when she does, she sweeps a lovely long diagonal out to Krezyman. The winger has to wait for support, though, and is eventually crowded out.Share12 mins: Sweden hit the bar again! At the other end, Kaneryd’s cross is this close to Asllani’s head – and moments later, Lundkist has time and space to pick out Janogy at the far post – and her header hits the top of the crossbar!Share11 mins: Angeldahl is dispossessed on the edge of the area and Poland work it upfield, only for Achcinska’s attempted long ball towards Tomasiak to be cut out.Share9 mins: Rytting Kaneryd gets in behind the Polish back line from Angeldahl’s pass, but can’t find Blackstenius with the cut-back. Still, Sweden have Poland camped around their own penalty area.Share7 mins: Janogy picks up a loose ball and finds Asllani ahead of her, but centre-back Szymczak does well to fend her off and retrieve the ball.Share5 mins: Poland get upfield for the first time before left-back Wiankowska, lacking options around her, scuffs a shot that’s on target, but easy for Falk to collect.Poland’s Martyna Wiankowska has an unsuccessful pop at goal.

Asllani gets her head to a deflected cross and her effort loops onto the crossbar. Poland get it clear, but not for long …Sweden’s Kosovare Asllani (centre) goes close with a looping header.

Her cross is cleared at the near post, and the winger can’t steer the rebound on target.ShareFirst halfAway we go, with Sweden straight on the attack …ShareThe players are out and anthems performed under an ethereal sky in Lucerne. Sweden will be in their blue away shirts, with Poland in white shirts and red shorts.It’s anthem time. Photograph: Piroschka Van De Wouw/ReutersShareUpdated at 20.06 BSTHere’s Suzanne Wrack on a wild, VAR-heavy win for Germany.SharePre-match readingSweden have a midfield general from Real Madrid and an all-star attacking line-up – but Poland’s team are powered by a never-say-die spirit. Read up on both teams here:Share“There’s a (frankly terrifying) 153m outdoor elevator about 8km from the stadium in Lucerne,” writes Ben Mock. “Feels like a fitting analogy for the task ahead of Poland tonight.” Frankly terrifying looks about right.ShareIt’s finished Germany 2-1 Denmark, the eight-times champions fighting back from a goal down at half-time to secure their second win in Group C. If Sweden win tonight, both teams will be guaranteed a quarter-final place before they meet in Zurich on Saturday.ShareUpdated at 19.14 BSTTeam newsPoland (4-3-3): Szemik; Matysik, Szymczak, Wos, Wiankowska; Achcinska, Pawollek, Grabowska; Krezyman, Pajor (c), Tomasiak.Subs: Radkiewicz, Seweryn, Zieniewicz, Dudek, Mesjasz, Kamczyk, Zawistowska, Kokosz, Jedlinskia, Slowinska, Padilla, Ademek.Sweden (4-3-3): Falk; Lundkvist, Bjorn, Ilestedt, Nilden; Angeldahl; Asllani, Zigiotti Olme; Rytting Kaneryd, Blackstenius, Janogy.Subs: Holmgren, Enblom, J Andersson, Sembrant, Eriksson, Hurtig, Jakobsson, Wangerheim, Rolfo, Bennison, Holmberg, Blomqvist.SharePreambleMajor tournaments can be a brutal business. After months of anticipation, it can all be over in a matter of days – which is particularly tough on debutants. For Poland, three decades of trying but failing to reach a major finals came to an end with a surprise playoff win over Austria.Poland began their Group C campaign with a creditable 2-0 defeat to Germany, but with said opponents beating Denmark in Basel, Nina Patalon’s side will likely need a result against Sweden – another former champion – or see their Euros dream end, four days after their tournament began.Sweden, who got the better of Denmark in their opener, will start as heavy favourites but Poland have a world-class forward in Ewa Pajor, and they have overcome the odds just to be there. One result can still change everything. Kick-off is at 8pm BST, 9pm local time.ShareUpdated at 19.08 BST
