All four groups have played their first matches at Euro 2025 with plenty of Arsenal involvement. Here’s a round up of the Gunners in action in Switzerland.
Switzerland 1 Norway 2
Lia Walti captained hosts Switzerland on the opening day of the tournament against Frida Maanum’s Norway. The Swiss led at half time thanks to a goal from Riesen. Norway turned it around in the second half with a goal from Ada Hegerberg and an own goal by Stierli. Lia Walti played the full 90 minutes while Frida Maanum, playing on the right wing, played for 76 minutes.
Spain 5 Portugal 0
Mariona started for Spain and notched a pair of assists in Spain’s comprehensive victory over a Portugal side who, clearly, were playing under difficult emotional conditions on the day of Diogo Jota and Adrien Silva’s deaths. Esther Gonzalez grabbed a brace, Vicky Lopez, Alexia Putellas and Cristina were the scorers for Spain. Mariona was withdrawn on 77 minutes.
Sweden 1 Denmark 0
Stina Blackstenius played the full 90 minutes in Sweden’s 1-0 win over Denmark. Filipa Angeldahl scored the winner for the Swedes. Former Gunner Lina Hurtig was an 83rd minute sub.
Wales 0 Netherlands 3
Daphne van Domselaar and Victoria Pelova played the full 90 minutes of Netherlands, coached by former Arsenal Academy head Andries Jonker, 3-0 win over Wales. Victoria Pelova scored the second Dutch goal, the first saw former Gunner Vivienne Miedema score her 100th goal for her country. Esmee Brugts scored the third.
England 1 France 2
Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson and Beth Mead started for England in their 2-1 defeat to France. Chloe Kelly came on for Mead on 60 minutes, while Michelle Agyemang had a strong impact as an 86th minute sub. Katoto and Baltimore scored for France with Keira Walsh getting a late goal back.
