Sweden Women overwhelm Lithuania Women with 10-0 victory in World Cup qualifier

Sweden dominate to secure huge win

Sweden Women delivered an emphatic 10-0 victory over Lithuania Women at Friends Arena in Stockholm on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. This dominant performance in the FIFA Women's World Cup Qualifying UEFA playoff phase first round was decided by a ten-goal margin, leaving Lithuania unable to respond throughout the 90 minutes. The result boosts Sweden’s aggregate lead to 15-0, setting them up strongly for progression.

Goals flow in for Sweden

The floodgates opened early with Sweden scoring the first goal and kept the pressure relentless. By the end of the match, Sweden had netted 10 goals in total, each contributing to their overwhelming advantage. Lithuania failed to find the net, with Sweden’s defence and goalkeeper maintaining a clean sheet. The timeline of the goals showcased Sweden’s offensive prowess and clinical finishing throughout the game.

Clean discipline but overwhelming statistics

There were no yellow or red cards issued to either side, reflecting a disciplined contest despite the one-sided nature. Sweden dominated possession with 68.9% compared to Lithuania’s 31.1%, and this control translated into a staggering 52 shots, 27 of which were on target. Lithuania, on the other hand, failed to register a single shot on target. Sweden also earned 13 corners while Lithuania had none. Both teams committed seven fouls each, but Lithuania’s goalkeeper was kept busy with 15 saves, highlighting the relentless Swedish attack. Neither side was caught offside during the match.

Impact on standings and form

This victory further solidifies Sweden Women’s position after their recent mixed form of two wins, one draw and two losses in five matches. Conversely, Lithuania Women enter this game having won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, but this heavy defeat will be a setback. With Sweden’s aggregate lead at 15-0, they appear firmly on course to advance from the playoff phase. Notably, Lithuania had suffered a 0-5 loss to Sweden just days earlier on 9 October 2026, reinforcing Sweden’s clear superiority.

Looking ahead

Sweden Women will look to maintain their impressive attacking form and defensive solidity in the second leg of the playoff to secure qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Lithuania Women face a tough challenge to overturn this daunting deficit but will aim to regroup and respond in upcoming fixtures. Both teams’ performances here will influence their approach and morale as they continue their international campaigns.
