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.

Einsatz bei der Frauen-EM – Erkennen Sie diesen Ex-HSV-Star?
Vollbart, dazu lange Haare, die in Zöpfen auf den Schultern hängen und ein schickes weißes Hemd mit lässig hochgekrempelten Ärmeln. So tritt ein ehemaliger HSV-Verteidiger aktuell bei der Frauen-EM 2025 in der Schweiz auf. Aber nicht als Fan.Der ehemalige Kapitän und Abwehr-Boss der Hamburger ist seit einem Jahr Sport-Koordinator der Gastgeberinnen. Damals erklärte er: „Eine EM in der Schweiz durfte ich 2008 bereits als Spieler erleben. Ich möchte, dass es ein großes Fest für alle wird: die Bevölkerung, die Fans, unsere Spielerinnen und nicht zuletzt die jungen Mädchen in diesem Land, die davon träumen, ihre Idole zu sehen. Ziel ist es, dass die Heim-EM auf den Frauenfußball in der Schweiz einen nachhaltigen Eindruck hinterlässt.“ Er selbst war bei der EM 2008 zwar im Kader der Schweizer, zum Einsatz kam er allerdings nicht.

Fantasy Football: Sleeper dynasty trade targets for 2025
Don't forget about Roman Wilson: The Steelers' third-round pick last year missed almost all of the season and will have an opportunity to earn a major starting role in a new-look wide receiver room.

Smutná norma. Na Tour de France znovu úřadovali zloději, Cofidisu ukradli kola za miliony
Podobné činy se na Tour de France bohužel stávají normou. Všichni totiž dobře vědí, že závodní stroje jezdců stojí klidně přes 300 tisíc korun. A tak jsou častým cílem zlodějů.

Angel Reese reaches new heights even as officiating woes leave the Chicago Sky frustrated again
The Chicago Sky stormed out of the gate against Minnesota Lynx, taking a commanding 14-point lead in the first quarter and showing flashes of the kind of dominance coach Tyler Marsh has been building. But the Lynx flipped the game on its head in the second quarter, capitalizing on a surprising free-throw advantage that would only grow more lopsided as the game progressed. Angel Reese shows hidden tattoo on sunny yacht dayMinnesota dropped 28 points in the second, taking a one-point lead into halftime and it wasn't just momentum they had on their side.The free-throw disparity was glaring. The Lynx made 17 trips to the line and the Sky just eight. And Angel Reese, despite going 0-for-16 from the field entirely within the paint, absorbing body after body, was awarded just two free-throw attempts.Reese eventually broke her silence with a […]
