Norway Beats Switzerland 2-1 in Women's Euro 2025 Opener

News summary

In the Women's Euro 2025 opener, Norway captain Ada Hegerberg played a crucial role in overturning a 1-0 deficit to secure a 2-1 victory over host nation Switzerland. Hegerberg scored a powerful second-half header from a corner and pressured Switzerland into an own goal shortly after, despite missing a penalty later in the match. Switzerland had dominated the first half, with Nadine Riesen scoring and Geraldine Reuteler hitting the crossbar, but Norway adjusted their tactics in the second half to slow the game and exploit Swiss mistakes. The missed penalty by Hegerberg led to a tense finish, but a VAR review overturned a subsequent Swiss penalty decision, allowing Norway to maintain their lead. Norway's resilience and teamwork were praised, and the win places them atop Group A, setting up a matchup against Finland in their next game. The match was played at Switzerland's largest stadium, St. Jakob-Park, which will also host the tournament final.
