MONDAY’S RESULTS
A day after Ivory Coast allowed 10 goals, NIGERIA and CAMEROON gave Africa some redemption by combining to score nine. Nigeria rallied for a 3-3 tie with fifth-ranked SWEDEN, scoring twice in three minutes in the second half and rallying once more in the closing moments in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Nigeria fell behind by 2-0 in the first half, conceding an own goal before Nilla Fischer scored on a tap-in in the 31st minute. But Ngozi Okobi and Asisat Oshoala struck in the 50th and the 53rd, tying the score. Linda Sembrant came off the bench to give Sweden a 3-2 lead that did not last.
