The annual tournament held in Portugal hosted Sweden, Italy, Portugal, Norway and Denmark for this year’s iteration. Both Sweden and Italy went undefeated to set up a winner-take-all final.
In the final, Italy struck first with Valentina Giacinti notching a goal in the 18th minute.
Caroline Seger got one back for Sweden in the 71st minute to pull even. From there, the game would eventually advance to penalties. Every Swedish player scored on their penalty kick, including goaltender Hedvig Lindahl, who scored the winning kick.
