Norway confirmed top spot in Group A at Euro 2025, after beating Finland 2-1 on Sunday.
Gemma Grainger’s side have won both of their games in Switzerland so far and, with head-to-head operating as the tiebreaker, they cannot now be caught by either the hosts or Finland.
Norway took the lead when Eva Nystrom diverted a cross into her own net in the third minute.
But Finland grew into the game and deservedly equalised through Oona Sevenius.
Lisa Naalsund was brought on in place of Vilde Boe Risa at the break, as Norway attempted to find a winner.
It was Caroline Graham Hansen who struck with six minutes to go, her attempted cross finding the net via the back post.
Celin Bizet replaced Graham Hansen in the closing stages and Norway – who still have Iceland to play – can now look forward a quarter-final against the runners-up of Group B in Geneva.
WHO’S IN ACTION NEXT?
Spain and Italy could also secure their place in the knockouts this evening, when they take on Belgium and Portugal in Group B respectively.
World champions Spain opened their campaign by thrashing Portugal 5-0, while Italy narrowly saw off Belgium’s challenge, winning 1-0.
