Despite Australia’s best efforts in the second half, they were undone on the break as Sweden – having already scored from the penalty spot in the first half – grabbed a second.

And what a goal it was.

After some good work by Fridolina Rolfö down the left-hand side, the ball was played into Kosovare Asllani who fired it first time into the back of the net.

It was a stunning finish and earned the European side the bronze medal.

And a Player of the Day for me?

There was only one candidate here.

Asllani has been a revelation at this tournament and despite earning 176 caps for her country, the 34-year-old really has gone to another level Down under.

Sweden essentially built their entire attack around the Milan playmaker for the tournament and it came to fruition here with the veteran netting that brilliant goal late on.

Come on, show us a picture perfect moment:
