Kosovare Asllani hit the bar for Sweden as the Irish battled to stay on equal terms, while Arsenal’s Katie McCabe forced a save from Hedvig Lindahl.
But a deflected shot from McCabe following a free-kick routine gave the visitors the advantage on 43 minutes.
Everton’s Courtney Brosnan tipped a strike from Manchester City’s Filippa Angeldal onto the bar but could not prevent Asllani from scoring late on for the point Sweden required.
