Switzerland secured a 2-0 victory over Iceland at the Women's Euros, with goals from Géraldine Reuteler and Alayah Pilgrim. This success marked their first win in Group A, keeping alive their hopes for a knockout stage berth. Norway topped the group after defeating Finland. The match featured a tense atmosphere, with Iceland nearly scoring early on. A VAR review disallowed a Swiss goal before Reuteler scored in the 76th minute, followed by Pilgrim's late goal sealing the win and generating excitement among the home fans for the next match.
The Swiss had the ball in the net on the half-hour mark after Svenja Foelmli's header was helped into her own goal by Glodis Viggosdottir, but the strike was ruled out after a VAR review found that Foelmli had committed a foul in the build-up.
It took until the 76th minute for Reuteler to break the deadlock in a tough, tense encounter as Iceland lost the ball in midfield and Sydney Schertenlieb slid it into her path to fire home confidently, capping off another superb individual display.
Substitute Pilgrim then wrapped up the three points with a deflected shot that flew into the net to send the crowd into a frenzy, with the promise of another big night of football for the hosts on the immediate horizon.
