Host nation Switzerland put its Women’s European Championship campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Iceland on Sunday, eliminating its opponents in the process.
Geraldine Reuteler netted with 14 minutes remaining as Stadion Wankdorf erupted in celebration in a sea of red, and Alayah Pilgrim sealed the result in the final minute.
It will now be all to play for on Thursday when Switzerland meets Finland in their final group match, with a place in the quarterfinals at stake. Both teams are level on three points — three points behind Norway, which beat Finland 2-1 earlier and has now advanced to the knockout stage as Group A champion.
Iceland has zero points and is out of the tournament regardless of what happens in its final match against Norway.
In contrast to when the teams played the opening matches last Wednesday, when Switzerland was engulfed by a heat wave, it was raining for most of the match in Bern.
Iceland almost scored in the opening minute but Ingibjorg Sigurdardottir volleyed off the crossbar.
Switzerland thought it had taken the lead on the half-hour mark. A corner was whipped in and Svenja Folmli’s header was inadvertently nodded into the net by Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir.
Swiss fans celebrated, but it was ruled out after a review on the pitchside monitor for a foul by Fölmli in the buildup.
Inside a packed stadium, with a capacity crowd of nearly 30,000, the 2,000 Icelandic fans made themselves heard with their thunder claps, while the equally fervent home support yelled “Hopp Schwiiz.”
And almost all of them thought Switzerland had taken the lead in stunning fashion in first-half stoppage time as Iman Beney’s long-range attempt rippled the side netting.
Iceland started the second half in almost exactly the same way it had started the first — by hitting the crossbar.

This time, Karolina Lea Vilhjalmsdottir’s free kick skimmed the top of the woodwork.
Switzerland had barely had a shot on target until it broke the deadlock in the 76th minute. Sydney Schertenleib threaded an intelligent ball through for Reuteler to run onto and slot into the far bottom corner.
And Switzerland wrapped up its first win in its home tournament when Pilgrim collected a pinpoint pass from another substitute, Leila Wandeler, and cut inside before curling into the back of the net.

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Quiet Offseason Puts Sam Presti on the Hot Seat
There’s a saying that goes: If you stand still, you lose ground.Or something like that. For those of us with a sports IQ, let me dumb it down a little: If you can’t stop T.J. McConnell, you really shouldn’t be raising any banners. If we learned anything from the recently completed NBA season, it’s that what happens in the first 82 games really doesn’t matter. It’s all about the postseason. The Oklahoma City Thunder were about as dominant in meaningless games as any team in NBA history. They were such a big favorite to win the championship, Mattress Mack had to bet a king-size just to win a couple of feathers. Yeah, the Thunder prevailed and Mack’s daughter can dress as Pocahontas for show-and-tell. But the champs lost more than they won over the course of their surprisingly difficult playoff […]
2015 NFL Redraft: Rebuilding the first round based on PFF grades and data
Wide receiver Stefon Diggs goes first: There wasn’t an obvious choice at No. 1 in this redraft, but we’re giving the Buccaneers wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who originally went in the fifth round to Minnesota. Diggs has made four Pro Bowls and ranks as the sixth-most valuable wide receiver in the league since 2015, according to PFF’s wins above replacement metric. Jameis Winston to the Texans: Houston desperately needed a franchise quarterback after Matt Schaub’s decline and departure in 2013. Ryan Fitzpatrick provided a solid 2014 season but left for New York afterward. The best option in the 2015 draft was Jameis Winston, who posted a 74.1 passing grade and 112 big-time throws over five seasons as Tampa Bay’s starter.

Max Homa Smart to Unplug from Social Media After John Deere Classic
The first thing you need to know about Max Homa is that he built a following by being genuinely funny and self-deprecating on Twitter over the years. The second thing you need to know is that Homa’s going through it right now. He is in the middle of his worst PGA Tour season since 2017, when he wasn’t yet established and failed to keep his card. “Had a few caddies hit me up recently hoping to team up,” Homa tweeted early that year. “They heard they usually get weekends off which is apparently a great selling point.” An A-plus line. In the Elon era of Twitter — or X, if you absolutely insist — certain prolific posters have lost interest in the platform or drifted to other sites. One of the biggest subtractions for sports fans has been Homa, whose […]
