Portugal rescued their UEFA Women's Euro 2025 campaign with a late equaliser in a 1–1 Group B draw against Italy on 7 July. Defender Diana Gomes struck in the 89th minute, cancelling out a curling finish from Italy captain Cristiana Girelli earlier in the second half. The result keeps Portugal in contention for a quarter-final berth that would have slipped away had Italy held on. For Italy, the draw delays confirmation of a knockout-stage place that appeared secure after Girelli’s opener. Italy had entered the match on the back of a 1–0 victory over Belgium on 3 July, secured through a first-half goal by Arianna Caruso. They remain unbeaten atop the section, while Portugal move to two points, setting up a decisive final round of group fixtures.
