Sweden Wins Euro 2025 Opener Over Denmark 1-0

Sweden secured a 1-0 victory over Denmark in their UEFA Women's Euro 2025 Group C opener, with the decisive goal scored by Filippa Angeldahl in the 55th minute. Angeldahl's goal came from a slick one-two passing move with captain Kosovare Asllani, who marked her 200th appearance for Sweden, and was enough to overcome a resilient Denmark side. Despite Denmark's late efforts, including a shot by Pernille Harder that struck the crossbar, Sweden's defense held strong throughout the match. The game was marked by hot weather conditions and multiple stoppages, including a lengthy video review early on. Sweden, managed by Peter Gerhardsson who is departing after the tournament, fielded a strong lineup featuring several Women's Super League stars and continued their unbeaten streak that began in July 2024. Denmark, coached by Andrée Jeglertz who will take over at Manchester City post-tournament, made several changes following a heavy 6-1 defeat to Sweden in June but were unable to find an equalizer in this closely contested match.
