Belgium Beats Portugal for Its First Win at Euro 2025 and Its Last

Janice Cayman scored in stoppage time for Belgium to beat Portugal 2-1 and secure their first win in their final game at the Women's European Championship on Friday. Amber Tysiak thought she had already scored Belgium's winner in stoppage time, but that goal was disallowed due to an offside call–the second Belgium goal ruled out after a VAR check. Portugal needed a win to have any hope of making the knockout stage but got off to a bad start when Belgium captain Tessa Wullaert slid in to meet Jill Janssen's cross for the third-minute opener. More bad news came from Bern, where Italy took a shock lead against tournament favorite Spain. Portugal was hoping for a heavy Italian defeat to enable its progress to the quarterfinals on goal difference–as long as it also won. Telma Encarnação got Portugal's only goal late and could not prevent her team's elimination. Spain came from behind to beat Italy 3-1, and both teams progressed from Group B–the world champion with a perfect three wins from three games, Italy second on four points, followed by Belgium on three and Portugal with one.

Last-gasp Xhemaili fires Swiss into Euro 2025 quarters

A goal in stoppage time in Geneva ensured that hosts Switzerland progressed to the last eight of the women's Euros after a 1-1 draw with Finland (Miguel MEDINA) Switzerland reached the quarter-finals of Women's Euro 2025 on Thursday after Riola Xhemaili struck with a stoppage time equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Finland. Xhemaili swept home Geraldine Reuteler's cross in the second minute of added time to send a passionate ground in Geneva wild just as it looked the hosts were set to be knocked out. Advertisement Switzerland were trailing with moments to spare after Natalia Kuikka marked her 101st international appearance with the opening goal from the penalty spot after Viola Calligaris fouled Emma Koivisto. Pia Sundhage's team will face the winners of Group B, most likely world champions Spain, on July 18 after scraping into the next round on goal difference. Switzerland needed a draw to go through ahead of Finland in second place in Group A and the point meant they finished second on four points, level with Finland who were eliminated in the most brutal of fashions. The Swiss are five points behind Norway who sailed into the last eight with a perfect three wins from three after just beating 4-3 rock-bottom Iceland, who finished with no points. Advertisement Signe Gaupset and Frida Maanum scored twice to pull Norway ahead in the 26th minute after Sveindis Jonsdottir gave Iceland a shock lead in the sixth minute. Norway survived a scare with late goals from Hlin Eiríksdottir and Glodis Perla Viggosdottir cutting the gap for Iceland, but it was too little, too late. Iceland were already eliminated before kick-off and were contesting a dead rubber with the Norwegians who were already in the quarters and await the runners-up in Group B. td/bsp
