U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher argued she had saved Lina Hurtig's penalty kick, but after a review by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), the match ended with Sweden advancing to the quarterfinal by winning 5-4 on penalty kicks after 120 scoreless minutes on Sunday.
"We just lost the World Cup by a millimeter," Naeher said in a post-match interview on FOX. "That's tough."
Here's a look at the game-ending kick, which was first ruled a save before the review:
