Finland and Switzerland battle for three points in a make-or-mar 2025 UEFA Women's European Championship match 18 clash on Thursday at the Stade de Geneve.
Finland will look to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Norway over the weekend. They went behind to Eva Nystrom's third-minute own goal before Oona Sevenius equalised six minutes later. Caroline Graham, though, scored the Norway's winner with six minutes left.
Hosts Switzerland, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Iceland. Both goals came in the final 15 minutes, with Geraldine Reuteler breaking the deadlock in the 76th minute before Alayah Pilgrim stepped off the bench to guarantee the victory.
