With two EURO 2025 quarter-finalists confirmed, two more teams will be hoping to join them on Tuesday.
Spain and Belgium put on a thriller, with the highest-scoring game in Women's EURO history. The world champions were twice pegged back by a Belgium equaliser but their quality shone through as they went on to win 6-2, a result that seals their place in the knockout rounds.
Italy were hoping to follow them with a win of their own and looked to be on their way to just that when legendary striker Cristiana Girelli scored a goal of the tournament contender, but Portugal netted a late equaliser to keep their hopes of qualifying alive heading into the final matchday.
Attention turns to Group C, where wins for Germany and Sweden would see them go on to six points and follow Norway and Spain into the quarter-finals.
Germany kick things off against Denmark in the earlier kick-off.
Before Poland take on Sweden. Poland gave Germany a stern challenge last time out and are looking to get their first ever goal, and their first ever points, at a Women's EUROs.

All eyes are on Poland's star striker Ewa Pajor as they look to get off the mark.
Their record goalscorer, Pajor netted 24 league goals for Barcelona in the season just gone — more than any other player in Europe's top leagues — and was a threat on the break throughout the defeat to Germany. Their hopes are pinned on her finding the back of the net and she will not give the Swedish backline a moment to rest.

Germany will be without captain Giulia Gwinn for the rest of the tournament after she suffered a knee injury in the win over Poland, and it will be interesting to see how they manage at right-back in her absence.
There is no obvious alternative right-back in the Germany squad and there will be a huge burden on Carlotta Wamser to deputise. Though Wamser played at right-back a few times for Frankfurt last season, the 21-year-old is more of a forward and has just three international caps to her name.
Talk about a baptism of fire.
