The hosts upped the pressure at the beginning of the second period, creating three clear-cut opportunities 10 minutes after the restart.
Olsson and Kapocs were unable to add a finishing touch to threatening crosses into the box, while Alice Bergstrom was thwarted by a block from Eva Nystrom.
In the 64th minute, Cascarino produced another intervention on the goalline – this time keeping out a Bergstrom header.
Substitute Anna Josendal watched a curler drift just wide as the game entered the final quarter of an hour, during which Liverpool continued to press hard for a leveller but came up short.
