"The home fans gave us great support," Shang said to Xinhua. "Maybe that is why so many countries would like to host Olympics."
The game's first goal came in the sixth minute when striker Xu Yuan followed up Zhang Na's shot, which had bounced off the left goalpost.
Xu, 23 years old, also assisted on China's other goal, punched in by Han Duan (韩端) in the 71st minute. Sweden's goal came from Lotta Schelin.
China plays its next game against Canada on August 9.
