LOS ANGELES -

The United States' early Sunday morning loss to Sweden in the Round of 16 at the Women's World Cup averaged a combined English- and Spanish-language audience of 2.79 million viewers.

The game, which kicked off Sunday night in Melbourne, Australia, began at 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT in the U.S.

Fox averaged 2,515,000 viewers according to Nielsen. The audience peaked at 4,072,000 during penalty kicks, when Sweden won 5-4 after a scoreless draw in regulation and extra time.
