Euro 2025
A magical first half, but a defeat for Switzerland against Norway
Beaten 2-1 by Norway to Basel, Switzerland misses its entry into “its” Euro, despite an encouraging start and a rapid goal.
Everything was too beautiful. Everything collapsed. Switzerland has entered its euro by a 2-1 defeat against Norway. And yet … Half of the stadium was already standing for a minute when Nadine Riesen turned Swiss selection in happiness. The Saint-Galloise offered its country a huge, so awaited goal, by opening the scoring in the 28th. But the whole national team was doing something fantastic, plunging with a crazy plume in their euro. This is why half of the scallops had chosen to get up from his headquarters. Switzerland simply played too well. Better than what the most ambitious forecasts had prescribed.
Around their captain Lia Wälti, narrowly restored to take part in the tournament, the Swiss delivered the first perfect period. Three minutes before Nadine Riesen’s victorious strike, Géraldine Reuteler had already touched the latte. Fears of seeing a Swiss too defensive, as it was too often in 2025? Growing as soon as it was clear that the two corridor players of Pia Sundhage 3-5-2, Iman Beney and Nadine Riesen, this time did not argue of offensive breakthroughs.
And then the break arrived. And the national team left in the locker room a little too much of what had made its success before that. Livia Peng was surprised by Ada Hegerberg in her five meters on a corner, Julia Stierli tackled a ball in her own goal, and this exciting Swiss a few minutes earlier was held by score. The 34,000 spectators of this big night did not come back. They were raging when they saw the Var withdraw a penalty in Switzerland, the Norwegians play the pendulum to freeze the scoring, Géraldine reutele to miss his face-to-face to the term. Nothing has done it. The euro begins with a defeat for Switzerland. It will be necessary to whip to catch up with it.
