The United States has been eliminated from the Women’s World Cup after a heartbreaking loss to Sweden in the Round of 16.

The defending champions lost on penalty kicks 5-4, with the final dagger barely breaking the plane of the goal to send Sweden to the next round.

The Americans’ bid to win an unprecedented third consecutive title ended when Lina Hurtig converted to send the U.S. home after a scoreless draw. It is the earliest exit in tournament history for the United States, the two-time reigning champions and four-time winners.

“We didn’t put anything in the back of the net,” sobbed Julie Ertz after the loss. “The penalties were tough. It’s just emotional because it’s probably my last game ever. It’s just tough. It’s an emotional time. It obviously sucks. Penalties are the worst.”
