Norway Secures Euro 2025 Quarter-Final Bid with Finland Win

Caroline Graham Hansen's late solo goal secured a 2-1 victory for Norway against Finland in the Women's Euro 2025, significantly advancing Norway's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Norway leads Group A with six points following wins over Switzerland and Finland, while Finland remains on three points. The match featured an early own goal by Finland's Eva Nystrom, an equalizer from Finland's Oona Sevenius, and Hansen's decisive strike in the 84th minute after skillful dribbling. This win offers Norway a chance at redemption after years of disappointing Euro performances, including early exits in 2017 and 2022 and a loss in the 2013 final. Team captain Ada Hegerberg praised Hansen's ability to create one-on-one situations, emphasizing her importance to the team. Norway faces Iceland in their final group game, with qualification as group winners within reach depending on Iceland's result against Switzerland.
