ALBUFEIRA, Portugal — Defending champion United States will meet Sweden in the final of the Algarve Cup after each finished atop their tournament groups on Monday.

The Americans, who had already qualified for Wednesday's final match, edged Norway 1-0 on a goal by Megan Rapinoe to lead Group B with a perfect nine points. Sweden upset Germany 3-2 to move to No. 1 in Group A.

U.S. coach Pia Sundhage will meet her home country in the final at the Estadio do Algarve in southern Portugal.

"It will be awesome," Sundhage said. "Winning the midfield is the key, plus keeping (Sweden striker) Lotta Schelin away from our box."

The United States, which hasn't conceded a goal this year in the Algarve, has won the invitational tournament a record six times. The Swedes won in 2001.

Sweden took 3-0 halftime lead after two goals from Schelin and an opening score by Nilla Fischer.

Two-time world champion Germany rallied with goals from Inka Grings and Kim Kulig, but lost its first match in Group A.

The United States, which had wins over Denmark and Iceland last week, rested some key players against Norway. Rapinoe beat two defenders and, with her back to goal, spun around and fired a low drive into the corner of the net.

Sweden made a sluggish start in the competition in a scoreless draw with China, but overcame Finland 1-0 in its second group game. It ended the round-robin stage with seven points, one ahead of Germany.

Also in Group A, China beat Finland 1-0. In Group B, Denmark defeated Iceland 2-0 and will play Germany for third place on Wednesday.

In Group C, which features teams not competing for the title, Portugal played Austria and Poland faced Wales later Monday.
