Lina Hurtig looked to save a point for Sweden against Spain. Then the referee pointed to the penalty spot in the shaky final seconds of the match. In addition, she picked up the red card for Amanda Ilestedt.
The penalty went into the goal and Sweden left Gamla Ullevi without a point.
And an accident rarely comes alone.
The red card on Ilestedt means that the defensive rock is suspended in the Nations League meeting with Italy on Tuesday.
That causes the national team management to act.
During the last hour of Friday evening, they now announce that Emma Östlund is leaving the U23 national team collection and joining the A national team. The Linköping defender will meet the A-squad on Saturday morning and then travel with the rest of the squad to Italy.
