Switzerland took an early lead but succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Norway in the Women's Euro 2025, with a dramatic own goal marking a sour ending for the hosts on Wednesday.

Norwegian captain Ada Hegerberg played a pivotal role, scoring the equalizer and later forcing a critical own goal. Despite multiple opportunities for Switzerland, a combination of missed chances and defensive missteps culminated in their loss.
