Japan held by Sweden
Japan, bidding to add Olympic gold to the World Cup title they won last year, were held to a goalless draw by Sweden in their second group match on Saturday.
Both sides came into the Group F clash on the back of wins, with Japan having defeated Canada 2-1 in their opener and Sweden thrashing South Africa 4-1.
But clearcut chances were in short supply at the City of Coventry Stadium in the English Midlands.
Japan saw Aya Sameshima try her luck midway through the first half before Sweden striker Sofia Jakobsson's effort just drifted wide of the post.
