Emotion, goals, and drama until the last minute: this was the conclusion of Group A in the Women's EURO 2025, where Norway confirmed its total dominance and Switzerland achieved a nail-biting qualification with a stoppage-time goal that knocked out Finland, who came close to a feat against the hosts.
Norway, already qualified, did not slow down and authoritatively defeated Iceland 4-3, despite fielding a lineup with several rotations.
With this victory, the Nordics close the group stage with a perfect score (9 out of 9) and position themselves as one of the top favorites for the title. Iceland, on the other hand, bids farewell to the tournament with a defeat, although they managed to score their first two goals in this edition.
But the real drama unfolded in the other match: Finland was winning 1-0 thanks to a penalty goal that temporarily put them in the quarter-finals and eliminated the hosts.
However, when all seemed lost for Switzerland, Lia Xhemaili appeared in the 92nd minute to score the equalizing goal (1-1) that sparked madness in the stands and secured her team the second place in the group, by goal difference.
