⏪ Women's EURO: Group C favourites Germany & Sweden reach knockout stage | OneFootball

Welcome to another day of action at Women's EURO 2025 in Switzerland, with two matches on the docket.

Stick with us across both fixtures from Basel and Lucerne.

FULL-TIME SCORES

FULL-TIME

That's the final whistle in Lucerne as Sweden jump to the top of Group C, with their final group stage match against Germany now of vital importance for both sides.

Tournament debutants Poland, as well as Denmark, are now both out of EURO 2025.

GOAL!!

Sweden make it three-nil on the night with a headed effort from substitute Lina Hurtig converting from close range to seal all three points on the night, and as things stand, they'll finish top of Group C unless they lose to Germany on the final day of group play.

Another change for Sweden here as Fridolina Rolfö is introduced with 15 minutes remaining; she replaces Madelen Janogy.

Poland also make changes, with Wiktoria Zieniewicz coming on for Martyna Wiankowska.

Sweden make a double change just before the 70th minute, with Julia Olme and Kosovare Asllani being replaced by Hanna Bennison and Lina Hurtig.

GOAL!!

It's Asllani's night to remember as Sweden doubles their lead in the 52nd minute thanks to a close-range header.

That's her 49th international goal on what is her 20th appearance at the EUROs, with Asllani now also becoming the first Swedish player to score at four different EURO tournaments; 2009, 2013, 2022, and now, 2025.

We're back underway at Swisspoarena, with both sides making changes.

Natalia Padilla and Ewelina Kamczyk replace Nadia Krezyman and Dominika Grabowska for Poland.

Jonna Andersson comes on for Sweden to replace Amanda Nildén.

HALF-TIME

Sweden look more than good value for their 1-0 lead at half-time, with the Scandinavian side unlucky in their efforts to double, if not triple, their advantage before the break.

Poland are hanging on in Lucerne, with 45 minutes left to define their summer campaign.

CHANCE!

Blackstenius has another chance at a brace after she gets a head on a cross from Johanna Kaneryd, but she could only head over the bar when it seemed easier to hit the target.

SAVE!

Polish shot-stopper Kinga Szemik denies Blackstenius a chance to secure a brace before the break with a kick-save from close range.

Do Blågult have a second in them before the interval?

GOAL!

Stina Blackstenius gives Sweden a 1-0 lead before the half-hour mark, with Poland valiantly defending for long stretches without relief.

That was always coming.

Sweden are knocking on the door here in a bid to bag an early goal to take some of the pressure off, and a second rattling of the bar through Madelen Janogy has caution flags waving for Nina Patalon's side.

CHANCE!

Sweden nearly open the scoring inside three minutes through none other than Kosovare Asllani with a looping header that hits off the top of the bar.

An early warning shot at Swisspoarena.

We're underway in Lucerne as Poland and Sweden close out the matchday catalogue. A win for Sweden sees them progress to the knockout stage with Poland crashing out, but any result for Poland here keeps their hopes alive.

Poland and Sweden have named their XIs for the second Group C match on the docket today.

Here is how both sides will line up in Lucerne.

FULL TIME! GERMANY 2-1 DENMARK

It wasn't easy despite their dominance of possession and chances, but the Germans have seen off Denmark to seal their progress to the last eight.

As for the Danes, they can hold their heads high but they are now on the brink of elimination.

Bühl sends her effort clear over the bar after another attempt from range as we enter stoppage time in Basel, with nine minutes of it offering every chance for Denmark to rescue their tournament.

Danish icon Nadia Nadim will make an appearance today as she comes in to replace Katrine Veje, with Jeglertz rolling the dice in the final minutes as they hunt for a second.

Less than ten minutes remaining. Can Germany hold on or extend their lead, or will Denmark find a late equaliser to keep their hopes alive this summer?

Germany make their third change, with Kathrin Hendrich coming on for Rebecca Knaak.

CHANCE!

Another flashing header sails just wide of Østergaard's far post after Hoffmann tried to bag an insurance goal minutes after coming off the bench.

A double change for Germany now, as Linda Dallmann and Lea Schüller are replaced by Laura Freigang and Giovanna Hoffmann.

CHANCE!!

Schüller nearly grabs a quick-fire brace, but she could only head just wide from close range. That surely would have put the match to bed!

Another change for Denmark, this time forced due to injury, sees Emma Snerle removed and replaced by Josefine Hasbo.

GOAL!

And now Germany have taken a 2-1 lead after a composed finish from Bayern's Lea Schüller dents Denmark's hopes of progression.

Jule Brand turned provider for Schüller's strike, which was the 54th goal of her international career, pulling her within nine goals of Célia Šašić in the all-time goalscoring list.

A triple change for Denmark sees Jeglertz call upon Signe Bruun, Cornelia Kramer, and Sanne Troelsgaard.

They come in to replace Janni Thomsen, Amalie Vangsgaard, and Karen Holmgaard.

GOAL!

And it's tucked away confidently by Chelsea's Sjoeke Nüsken to level matters on the day, and it's probably no less than Germany deserve given the balance of play.

PENALTY!

Germany now have a penalty on the day after VAR overturns the on-pitch call.

Germany creator-in-chief Linda Dallmann goes down in the box after contact with Katrine Veje, and there are shouts for a potential penalty here as VAR reviews the passage of play.

Wamser has another pop from distance from a similar range as her first-half attempt, but once again, Østergaard was equal to the task and far more comfortably this time around.

SECOND-HALF

We're back underway at St. Jakob-Park.

Neither side made any changes to the XI before the restart.

HALF-TIME

Germany failed to make any of their chances count on the day as they head into the half-time interval 1-0 down against Denmark, who have looked impressive on the counter throughout.

Germany scramble in the box after taking their sixth corner of the half, but Denmark clear their lines, with the European giants unable to create anything of note from their resulting seventh corner.

We'll have seven minutes of added time here. Can either side find the back of the net before the break?

SAVE!

A strong hand from Berger denies Denmark's Pernille Harder of a brilliant opportunity to double their lead as we edge toward half-time.

CHANCE!

Østergaard denies Carlotta Wamser's effort from range with Germany pushing for an equaliser just before the break.

NO!! FREE KICK!!

VAR intervenes to deny Germany a penalty, and instead, a free-kick was awarded just outside of the box at the correct point of contact.

PENALTY!!

Germany has a chance to level matters from the spot after a cross into the box struck the outstretched arm of Frederikke Thøgersen.

CHANCE!

Denmark are finding their feet here and they come close to bagging a second just minutes after, but a long-range effort from Janni Thomsen glides just wide of the far corner.

GOAL!!

Denmark have taken a shock 1-0 lead thanks to a quality hit from Amalie Vangsgaard, after the striker picked up a loose ball just outside the area before storming into the box to finish low past Ann-Katrin Berger at the near post.

That was their first shot on target this afternoon and their first goal at EURO 2025.

GERMANY DENIED AN OPENER!

A 1-0 lead inside the opening 20 minutes has been wiped away after a smart first-time finish by Bühl was pulled back after a VAR review due to offside.

That's come to nothing as Denmark clear their lines, but Germany recycle possession in the centre of the park as they look to build another attack.

Germany get into the box again with a ball over the top to Bühl, but another effort is blocked to deny her from a tight angle.

They'll look to find something off the upcoming corner...

Christian Wück's outfit look determined to open the scoring early here, with Die Frauen looking dangerous in transition in the early exchanges.

An early chance for Germany as the European giants broke into the final third, only for Klara Bühl to see her goal-bound effort from inside the box blocked by Emma Færge before testing Danish shot-stopper Maja Østergaard.

KICK-OFF

We're underway in Basel as Germany look to secure passage into the knockout stage with one match to spare.

Can Denmark fight their way to an upset win in a bid to offer themselves a lifeline?

Germany are primed to claim top spot in Group C should they secure all three points against De rød-hvide, with Germany posting a 2-0 win against Poland to open group play.

Denmark, who opened the summer campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss against Scandinavian rival Sweden, must win today if there is any hope of progression into the knockout stage.

Germany and Denmark have named their XIs ahead of their clash in Basel.

Here is how the two sides will look on the pitch at St. Jakob-Park.
