Italy took too many touches in defence, failed to clear their lines and paid a heavy price early on. Sweden were organized, direct and imposed themselves physically - though often illegally (3 bookings and a red card) on their smaller opponents.
Sam opened the scoring, Noah Gallo made it 2-0 and Sam - off a well-flighted cross from Manfredi - made it 3-0. The first two goals were due in large part to sloppy defending and, for the third, Sam went unchallenged. Michael added a fourth before half time.
During all this, Italy tried to play good football but their last pass was often less than perfect and Giovanni mopped up many of them with cool positional play.
In the second half, Italy controlled the game and made more chances. Giuseppe scored and could have scored a second but blasted high. Matteo made some good driving runs from the back, Lapo was a dynamo in midfield and Lucrezia and Niccolo' were always dangerous.
BEST PLAYERS POINTS: Giovanni 5, Noah 4, Giuseppe 4, Sam 2, Matteo 1, Lapo 1, Tanner 1, Manfredi 1, Federico 1, Michael 1
