Angelica Burevik Törnqvist (born 7 December 1958) is a Swedish former association football defender who won 30 caps for the Sweden women's national football team. She is nicknamed Agge.
Club career[edit]
Burevik's performances for local team Stattena IF earned her a place in the Helsingborgs Idrottsmuseum Hall of Fame in 1983.[3] She later served the club as chairperson.[4]
International career[edit]
Burevik made her senior Sweden debut in a 6–1 win over France in Montauban on 23 May 1981.[5] She won the first UEFA championships for national women's teams in 1984. Sweden beat England in the final, on a penalty shootout at Kenilworth Road after a 1–1 aggregate draw.[6] Burevik's break down the right wing and cross had created Pia Sundhage's headed goal for Sweden in the first leg at Ullevi.[7] Her exertions in central defence on the muddy Kenilworth Road pitch left her too exhausted to participate in the shootout.[8]
Burevik played 30 games in a row for Sweden, the last of which was on 9 October 1985. Only two games were lost while 22 resulted in Swedish victories.[8]
