The Women’s Eurocup 2025, the hosts of Switzerland, needed a 92 -minute equalizer to guarantee the progression of the qualifying stages after the last 15 minutes against Finland in Group A.
A point was all that was required for the Swiss as runners -up of the group, while the three were necessary for Finland to qualify for the quarterfinals.
After a first first of 75 minutes, the game emerged in life with a remaining quarter when an imprudent challenge in the Caligaris Viola box gave Finland the opportunity to take the front from the place.
Natalia Kuikka took a step forward to bring the penalty closer and give her team a foot in the next round.
However, deeply in the detention time, a cross from the right was beaten home by the substitute Riola Xhemaili, causing jubilated scenes of local fans inside the Geneve Stade.
Finals here we are going ❤️🔥

In the other game, Norway, whose passage until the last eight had been confirmed before the start against an already eliminated island, was left behind in a goal by Sveindis Jonsdottir of seventh minute, but responded strongly when IR 4-1.
Signe Gaupset and Frida Maanum helped themselves before Iceland launched a brave return effort of their own afternoon.
First, Hlin Eiriksdottir withdrew a goal in the 84th minute before glodis viggosdottir reduced the deficit to one with a penalty in the detention time.
Seven goals and an exciting end, but it was Norway who progressed as winners of the group with maximum points, while Iceland went little to show their efforts.
It is likely that the last eight opponents of Norway are Italy or Portugal, while the Swiss appearance will face the world champions Spain, who have been impressive in their first two games of the tournament.
