Iceland become the first team to be knocked out of Euro 2025 as Geraldine Reuteler and Alayah Pilgrim give hosts Switzerland a 2-0 win in Bern.
Host nation Switzerland has put its Women’s European Championship campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Iceland, eliminating its opponents in the process.
The host team from Switzerland defeated Iceland 2-0 in the second matchday of the preliminary round at the 2025 Women's Euro in Bern in front of 29,658 spectators. With this convincing performance,
Iceland twice hit the bar and perhaps Switzerland could have been tempted to settle for a point as the clock ticked into the 76th minute. Instead, Pia Sundhage’s side kept going.

Geraldine Reuteler got the opening goal and Alayah Pilgrim scored a late second as hosts Switzerland beat Iceland 2-0 on Sunday to keep alive their hopes of a place in the knockout stage by registering their first win in Group A at the Women's Euros.
