Despite being drawn in a tough group with two other nations from the world’s top six, England were expected to reach Euro 2025 unscathed.
But they have not made easy work of their qualification campaign and this was another anxious evening in Sweden.
Wiegman was often animated on the touchline, showing her frustration more than usual as errors crept in throughout the second half and England did not cope well under pressure.
Swedish supporters in the stadium were vociferous, banging drums and chanting as they sensed their side were becoming more dangerous.
England held on and got the job done but Hampton was tested by ex-Manchester City midfielder Filippa Angeldahl’s powerful long-range strike and did not look comfortable on set-pieces.
There is competition for England’s number one spot, with Hampton getting the nod over regular Mary Earps.
Asked about Earps’ response, Wiegman said: “She was very professional. The competition is on, it’s really on. They are both incredible, talented goalkeepers we are really happy with – and the others too.
“There is three months until our next window. They are going back to their clubs, of course with Mary going to France [after signing for Paris St-Germain].
“We will see how that goes first and see when they come back in October.”
It was another display which confirmed England’s defence of their title in Switzerland will be far from easy and they must improve before travelling there next year.
The result is a bitter blow to Sweden, who also drew with England at Wembley in April, but they will now have to navigate a complicated play-off system with two rounds of two-legged ties.
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also in the play-offs with the draw taking place at 12:00 BST on Friday.
England can focus fully on preparations for Switzerland. They will find out their group-stage opponents in the draw on Monday, 16 December at 17:00 BST.
However, celebrations were subdued at full-time in Sweden as they know they were fortunate not to have conceded late on and it was far from routine.
