Germany suffered a major setback minutes before the final on Sunday evening when captain Alex Popp was forced to withdraw due to an injury sustained during the warm-up.
A close-knit match between both the giants saw Germany progress to the next match as France falls down in the semi-finals of the match.
England squeezed past Spain 2-1 in a close game thanks to the winner from Stanway in the extra time.
Sweden were heading into the game as favourites. The scoreline reading in their favour does not truly capture the level of competition in the game and how close it was between both sides.
Germany registered a win over Austria with a fairly dominant performance, allowing the opposition team a little possession. It was still a good matchup between both teams as Austria made some opportunities for themselves, but failed to capitalize with three shots on the post.
Spain frustrated their opposition during the whole 90 minutes of the match and dominated in terms of ball possession and shots.
The day started under blazing heat for both sides at Manchester City's academy and both teams created some chances for themselves early on in this must-win game.
Sweden got the lead in the 21st minute when Filippa Angeldal tapped home from close range a corner from Jonna Andersson. She followed it with another goal in the 45th minute. C da Silva Costa made things 3-0 in favour of her opposition with a terrible own goal.
With this loss, Norway has been eliminated from the competition. A draw would have been enough for the Norwegians to secure a runners-up spot in Group A but could not get it.
France saw most of the ball in the match with 60 per cent possession on their side while also creating a lot of chances with a total of 7 shots on target of a total of 27 shots attempted.
