Finland and Norway going blow for blow in Women’s EUROs clash

LIVE:

STILL TO COME:


Norway haven’t had an effort on goal since the 37th minute.

They’d take a point right now, needless to say.


The Finns have been the better side here, but Norway are proving a tough nut to crack.


OFF THE POST!

Oh so close for Finland. Eveliina Summanen finds some space on the edge of the box, and sidefoots a brilliant shot that looked to be heading into the net before bouncing off the post.

A lucky escape for Norway with 25 minutes to go here.


Norway have tightened up a bit to start this half – they were far too easy to play through in the first half.


Back under way in Sion – big second half to come!


With a goal like that, it’s no wonder she’s smiling.


HALF TIME!

What a 45! Norway took the lead inside three minutes but are doing well to be level at the break.

Finland have been the better side, but it’s all to play for.


This game had serious potential, and it’s more than lived up to it.


GOAL! FINLAND ARE LEVEL!

And you can’t say it isn’t mostly deserved!

Oona Sevenius is the scorer, and what a fine goal it is. She goes through on goal and finishes into the top corner in some style.


OFF THE WOODWORK!

And just like that, Norway almost get a second against the run of play.

Ingrid Engen gets her head to the ball from a corner but sees it bounce off the bar and away.

Next goal is big here.


The Finns have had 65% possession, which tells you everything about the flow of the game since that early goal.

Can they make it count?


Finland have got back into this, and are starting to really trouble Norway.

Captain Linda Sällström has had their best chance, being denied brilliantly by Cecile Fiskerstrand when in on goal.

A good response to a horror start.


That goal Norway have scored their second-fastest ever at the European Championship finals, after a first-minute opener against Sweden in 1989.

129 seconds on the clock when they struck tonight. Not bad.


GOAL! WHAT A START FOR NORWAY!

Just three minutes gone, and Norway are in the lead!

It’s an own goal from Eva Nyström, who got her feet mixed up trying to clear the ball from a dangerous from Caroline Graham Hansen.

Big goal.


KICK OFF!

And we’re underway at the Stade de Tourbillon in Sion.


Hosts Switzerland take on Iceland with both countries needing a positive result to keep alive their hopes of qualification to the knockout phase.

First, though, Norway and Finland meet in a game that could see one side book their spot in the the last eight.
