FULL TIME: NETHERLANDS 1-1 SCOTLAND

It's a comeback point for Scotland in the Netherlands as Melissa Andreatta's reign of the Scottish national team begins with a hugely positive performance and result against a top 10 opponent.


FULL TIME: AUSTRIA 0-6 GERMANY

Austria were dismantled in the first half by a ruthless Germany, with Lohmann striking twice to seal a comfortable win for the Group A1 victors. Die Nationalelf look supremely confident ahead of the 2025 Euros.


CHANCE SCOTLAND

Oh wow! Scotland applying all of the late pressure and Martha Thomas goes one on one with van Domselaar, but the Dutch goalkeeper comes quickly and smothers the shot.


🚨 Another England retirement announced ahead of the Euros!


CHANCE SCOTLAND

Scotland want to come away with more than a point here and Kirsty Howatt's drilled strike forces Daphne van Domselaar into action.


CHANCE GERMANY

This is an interesting late battle as Hoffmann takes aim yet again, only for El Sherif to save once more. A nice one on one sub-plot to the evening.


CHANCE NETHERLANDS

Roord receives a pass on the edge of the 18-yard box and her shot almost nestles in the bottom corner, but Scotland breathe a sigh of relief as it trundles wide.


CHANCE GERMANY

Germany are still pushing for a big finish and looking for number seven. Giovanna Hoffmann is next to have a go and her strike is saved by Mariella El Sherif.


Germany have slowed up in Austria, where Die Nationalelf scored six in the opening 41 minutes to lead 6-0.

Scotland continue to frustrate the Netherlands and Melissa Andreatta's outfit will, as things stand, end the Nations League campaign with their first and only point.


FULL TIME: SWITZERLAND 0-1 NORWAY

Switzerland had the better chances but couldn't produce any kind of response to Bøe Risa's early first-half goal. Norway finish second in A2 and avoid relegation and condemn Switzerland to the Nations League B tier.


FULL TIME: ICELAND 0-2 FRANCE

Les Bleues' quality shines in the final 15 minutes to break Iceland's rearguard as Laurent Bonadei's outfit win all six Group A2 games to move into the Nations League final four.


GOAL FRANCE

Two late goals for France and Sakina Karchaoui fires in with five minutes remaining.


CHANCE NETHERLANDS

A mix-up between Emma Lawton and Jenna Clark allows Romée Leuchter to race through on goal, but she shoots just wide. Let off for Scotland!


SECOND HALF

Germany are well in control against Austria, leading 6-0 and Scotland are holding the Netherlands in Tilburg.

FULL TIME: WALES 1-4 ITALY

Italy put Wales to the sword and were well in control to avoid a Nations League relegation play-off clash. Despite struggling throughout the evening, Fishlock's lobbed finish for Wales was a contender for goal of the night!

Blackstenius starred for Sweden with a hat-trick and led the Blue-Yellows to a 6-1 triumph over Denmark. Sweden finish Group A4 as winners and advance to the final four.

A late sixth for the Group A4 leaders and Lina Hurtig fires in on 92 minutes to cap a big win for Sweden over Denmark.

Six goals for Germany in the first half and Laura Freigang gets amongst the action


GOAL WALES

Wales pull a very late goal back with just eight minutes to play in Swansea. Jess Fishlock is on hand to grab a consolation in style, chipping in from 30 yards. A great goal!

Ireland reach the promotion play-offs despite a valiant attempt to defeat Group B3 victors Slovenia.

KICK OFF

The last round of games gets started with the Netherlands vs Scotland and Austria vs Germany in Group A1.

GOAL ITALY

Just as Wales were building some momentum, Italy strike again and Cristiana Girelli doubles the visitors' lead in Swansea.


HALF TIME

Ireland have a slender lead over Slovenia and have been pushing for a second. They need three more goals to win Group B2 and avoid the play-offs.


HALF TIME

England have had their backs against the wall for most of the first half, but a moment of quality from Russo on her 50th cap gives the Lionesses a 1-0 lead at the break.

As it stands, England are going through to the Nations League semi-finals!

Alessia Russo breaks the deadlock for England, racing past the Spain defence and slotting into the net.


GOAL IRELAND

Ireland go one up through Noonan, who headers in from Jessie Stapleton's cross.


Ireland vs Slovenia started at a frantic pace, with chances at both ends. The tempo has dipped slightly, which will suit the visitors nicely right now.


Spain have dominated the ball inside England's half during the opening 10 minutes and had the only big opportunity so far with González testing Hampton.


Ireland pummeling Slovenia with a succession of corners. Will one lead to the opener?


CHANCE IRELAND

Ireland almost get a vital early goal where Saoirse Noonan's header is cleared off the line by Zara Kramžar.


CHANCE SPAIN

The hosts almost take the lead inside the first three minutes as Esther González shoots inside the six-yard area, but Hannah Hampton produces a reaction save to keep the score level.

Good evening and welcome to a jam-packed evening of Women's UEFA Nations League action.

Sweden or Denmark and Spain or England are battling for a place in the finals to join already qualified France and Germany in the A division.

The Republic of Ireland can also win promotion from Group B2, but must beat Slovenia by four or more goals to avoid the play-offs.
