Sweden took the lead though Desire Oparanozie's unfortunate own goal after 20' of play before long, they also netted from a poor clearance to finish the first 45 minutes 2-0.
The Falcons came out firing with some brilliance in the second half which paid off as Ngozi Okobi and Asisat Oshoala scored to level up with the Europeans.
A good build up from the Swedes saw them secure a third goal but Francisca Ordega salvaged it for the Africans as she fired home with just three minutes in the match.
