The lowdown on UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Day 9️⃣ | OneFootball

Group A comes to a close on Thursday with one quarter-final place to be settled. Let's get into it ...

Before we get into today's action, what happened yesterday? ⏪

England rebounded from their disappointing opening game to put in a dominant performance and claim a 4-0 win over the Netherlands. Lauren James starred with a brace, while Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone netting the others.

In the later kick-off, France ran out 4-1 winners over Wales, who did at least have the chance to celebrate first ever goal at a major tournament when Jess Fishlock cancelled out Clara Mateo's early opener.

Who is playing today? 👀

All eyes will be on hosts Switzerland, as they take on Finland with a place in the knockout stages on the line. A win or a draw would see Switzerland through. Defeat would see Finland qualify ahead of them.

Norway and Iceland meet in the other game with their fates already sealed, though Norway could seal top spot in the group with a point.

Sydney Schertenleib is one of the youngest players at the tournament, having only turned 18 at the start of the year, but has already forced herself into the hosts' lineup.

An impressive cameo in the matchday one defeat to Norway led to a start against Iceland, where the Barcelona youngster took four shots (nobody took more in the game) and assisted Switzerland's opener. A brilliant dribbler with the ability to create and an eye for goal, Switzerland will be looking to her should they need a moment of inspiration.

When it comes to tournament football, every neutral loves being able to root for the hosts. The longer they stick around, the better the vibe is at games throughout the whole country.

Everyone will be watching on to see if Switzerland can progress.

As a nice sidenote, the other game will be interesting in terms of Norway's performance. Both wins so far have been unconvincing and they come up against an Iceland side that has been unlucky to lose twice. There must be improvement if Norway are to inspire belief that they can make the most of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
