Soccer-Mjelde hails Hegerberg as Norway seek to advance at Women's Euro
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - UEFA Women's Euro 2025 - Group A - Switzerland v Norway - St. Jakob-Park, Basel, Switzerland - July 2, 2025 Norway's Ada Hegerberg celebrates scoring their first goal with Maren Mjelde REUTERS/Denis Balibouse/File Photo (Reuters) -Norway defender Maren Mjelde had no issue handing over the captain's armband to Ada Hegerberg ahead of the Women's Euros, and the striker responded by scoring a vital equaliser in their side's 2-1 Group A win over hosts Switzerland that puts them firmly in control of their own destiny. The Norwegians take on second-placed Finland in Sion on Sunday knowing that a win for either team will see them safely through to the knockout stage, and Mjelde is hoping that Hegerberg can perform more of her heroics against the Finns. "She's brilliant. I was so happy for her to open the tournament with a goal, it's good for the strikers to get the goals. Really pleased for her, pleased for the team, because we needed that win," Mjelde told Reuters. After a rudderless first half that saw the Swiss dominate and take the lead, the 35-year-old Mjelde said her teammates had to pull themselves together at the break. "We all knew that it wasn't good enough, but if they could do it in 45 minutes, we could turn it around in 45 minutes. And I think that's what we agreed on going out there, we promised each other that we would do everything, give everything out there for 45 minutes," she said. "We promised each other that, and I think we did that." Though the Norwegians enjoyed the victory over the Swiss, Mjelde said that there would be little time to celebrate with the Finns up next. "I can never breathe (out), I feel, in the Euros, because it's so tight between games. We've had a good start -- there's always things to work on, but I think it's also good to reinforce the good things that you do, and take that to the next game," Mjelde said. Switzerland take on Iceland, who both lost their opening games by a single goal, in Bern in the group's other game later on Sunday. (Reporting by Philip O'Connor, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

WSL clockwatch: Everton v Arsenal, Liverpool v Manchester United
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Everton v Arsenal team news Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Everton Women: Brosnan, Mjelde, Fernandez, Stenevik, Sara Holmgaard, Vanhaevermaet, Snoeijs, Ladd, Hayashi, Toni Payne, Gago. Subs: Ramsey, Wheeler, Lawley, Hope, Watson, Heather Payne, Sarri, Karen Holmgaard, Olesen. Arsenal Women: Zinsberger, Fox, Williamson, Catley, McCabe, Maanum, Little, Caldentey, Kelly, Walti, Russo. Subs: Williams, Ilestedt, Nighswonger, Cooney-Cross, Pelova, Foord, Mead, Hurtig, Blackstenius. Share A popular golf phrase is that 'you can't win a tournament on the first day, but you can certainly lose it'. This is certainly relevant for tonight's WSL fixtures. Second-placed Manchester United and third-placed Arsenal certainly cannot win the WSL title with wins tonight but if they drop points against Liverpool and Everton respectively, then surely their title chances are done and dusted (if they aren't already). It's not that the gap to Chelsea is gargantuan. But, should United or Arsenal limp to a draw or defeat tonight (against Liverpool and Everton respectively), leaders Chelsea have been too good this season to suggest that they are going to drop at least seven points from their final six games. The Blues remain invincible. They have plenty of motivation to remain unbeaten, have a far superior goal difference to their rivals (effectively good for another point) and a stacked squad, which was heavily bolstered in January and which is about to get even stronger. Still, if United win tonight, the gap is just five points. United are on a seven-game winning streak in the WSL, stretching back to early December (a run that started with a 4-0 win over Liverpool). Arsenal are on a similar league run, save for a crucial 1-0 defeat to Chelsea back in January. Both red teams are still in excellent form. The WSL title race is not over until the fat man sings. Join me for this epic double-header, hindered only by the fact that the two kick-offs are at slightly different times. Thanks, schedulers! Everton v Arsenal, 7pm (all times GMT). Liverpool v Manchester United, 7.15pm. Share
