Norway confirmed their dominance in Group A of the Women’s Euro 2025 by beating Iceland 4–1 in Thun, completing a perfect three-match sweep with nine points. The Scandinavians, who had already secured qualification after earlier victories over Switzerland and Finland, recovered from an early Sveindís Jónsdóttir strike thanks to a pair of goals from Cathinka Tandberg Gaupset and further efforts by Frida Maanum and Ada Hegerberg. The drama of the evening unfolded in Geneva, where hosts Switzerland salvaged a 1–1 draw against Finland to clinch the second quarter-final berth from the group. Finland appeared set to advance when Natalia Kuikka converted a 79th-minute penalty, but Riola Xhemaili levelled in the third minute of stoppage time. The result left both sides on four points, with the Swiss progressing on superior goal difference (+1 to 0). The quarter-final appearance is the first in Switzerland’s history at a European Championship, while Norway advance as group winners for the sixth time in the tournament’s 14 editions. Iceland exit without a point. Norway will meet the Group B runner-up in the last eight, and Switzerland are set to face the winner of Group C.
Switzerland are through! 🇨🇭 The hosts needed a late equaliser from Riola Xhemaili to book their spot in the quarter finals 💪 https://t.co/rbNaHQk0rE
