This being the final group game, the other two teams in Group A – Norway and Iceland – are kicking off at the same time. You can follow that match with Sarah Rendell right here. Norway are already qualified for the knockout stages and are feeling confident enough to leave Caroline Graham Hansen and Ada Hegerberg on the bench.

Preamble
An absolutely gargantuan game of football here.
Hosts of Euro 2025, Switzerland, are level on points with today’s opponents, Finland. The former have never before reached the knockout stage of a European Championship but hold a slender one-goal advantage over Finland with their goal difference, meaning a draw will do for the Swiss.

Don’t count out Finland, who only narrowly lost to group favourites Norway in their last game. Wide players Katariina Kosola and Emma Koivisto have particularly impressed in a team that has pressed well so far this tournament, beating Iceland in their opener. They look well drilled under Marko Saloranta, and I expect them to come out fighting tonight.

Geneva is absolutely rocking, by the way, with fans from both sides organising a fan walk to the stadium. The atmosphere looks sensational.
