Marie Hammarstrom scored in the 82nd minute to give 10-woman Sweden a 2-1 victory over France in the third-place game at the Women's World Cup.
After Josefine Oqvist was sent off in the 68th for hitting Sonia Bompastor in the chest, Sweden won a corner kick that was cleared off the near post. But the ball caromed out to Hammarstrom, who touched it once, faking out a defender, and then a second time before letting fly with a thunderous left-footed blast.
It was Hammarstorm's first World Cup goal and her first ever for Sweden.
