GOTHENBURG, Sweden (Reuters) - Spanish and Swedish players got together ahead of Friday night's Nations League clash to send a strong message that although some changes may have taken place after a turbulent few weeks in women's football, the struggle is far from over.

Spain's players eked out a 3-2 win thanks to a late penalty and though the result will be an important one in terms of the outcome of the Nations League and Olympic qualifying, many of the Swedish players felt that showing support was just as vital.
