2️⃣ winners and losers from Sweden's Women's EUROs win over Germany | OneFootball

In a stunning showcase of dominance, Sweden dismantled Germany 4-1 in their final UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 Group C match on July 12, securing a flawless group stage campaign in the process.

Despite falling behind early, Sweden stormed back with clinical finishing to hand Germany their worst defeat in Women’s Euros history.

From standout performances to costly mistakes, this clash produced clear winners and losers, with some major implications heading into the knockout rounds.

🏆 Winners

1. Sweden - Commanding Top Spot in Group C

Sweden delivered a dominant performance with a decisive 4-1 victory over Germany, ensuring a perfect record in Group C with three wins from three matches

They overcame Germany’s early opener and capitalised on a turning-point red card to take complete control. The win means Sweden finish top of the group, setting themselves up for a more favourable knockout route out of Group D’s runner-up.

2. Player of the Match: Johanna Rytting Kaneryd

Sweden’s right flank star Johanna Rytting Kaneryd was outstanding, consistently causing problems down her side throughout the match and setting up Lina Hurtig for the fourth goal with a composed pass.

Rytting Kaneryd played a key role in the buildup to Sweden's goals as her influence earned her the post‑match Player of the Match award.

😞 Losers

1. Germany’s Defence

Germany endured their heaviest-ever defeat at a Women’s Euros, conceding four goals for the first time in any major Euro match, including qualifiers.

After taking an early lead through Jule Brand, they slipped immediately under Sweden’s pressure, and their defence unravelled, with Ann-Katrin Berger making costly errors leading to goals in the first period.

2. Carlotta Wamser - Red Card Horror

A young potential star, 21-year-old Carlotta Wamser, transformed from hero to villain within half an hour. She assisted Germany’s early goal but was sent off after handling on the goal line to prevent Sweden’s third, leading to a penalty converted by Rolfö

Distraught and visibly upset, Wamser’s red card was the pivotal moment that swung the game irreversibly in Sweden’s favour.
