Match summary and goal highlights on RTS Sport: Switzerland – Finland 1-1
Video of Euro 2025 in Geneva Match highlights, summaries, and interviews… history is in the making! The Swiss team has never been closer to qualifying for the quarterfinals – see the ranking . It would be crazy to celebrate all over Switzerland before August 1st! With its youth, the Swiss team is very, very popular, as proven by the number of Instagram followers which explodes during Eurofoot.
The Women's Euro 2025 is underway, and the match between Switzerland and Finland promises to be a pivotal moment for the Swiss team. Between a Swiss team in full transition, driven by bold youth, and a more experienced but formidable Finland on the counterattack, this match should provide an exciting duel. Here are the key players from each side to watch closely.
Swiss side: assertive youth and explosive profiles
Lia Wälti, the boss of the environment
A key player for both national team and club (Arsenal), Lia Wälti remains the foundation of the Swiss team. Her vision of the game, her calmness, and her ability to bridge the gap between defense and attack make her a major asset. In a rejuvenated team, she provides the structure needed to stay the course.
Alayah Pilgrim, Will-o'-the-Wisp of the Corridor
A fast and technical striker for FC Basel, Alayah Pilgrim is an unpredictable player, capable of making a difference with a burst of speed or a well-timed dribble. She excels in one-on-one situations and doesn't hesitate to take her chances. Her energy on the wing can dynamite a well-organized Finnish defense. She has the potential to rank in the scorers ranking.

Iman Beney, freshness and intelligence of play
At just 18 years old, Iman Beney is already impressing with her maturity on the pitch. Her ability to read the game, position herself intelligently, and participate in pressing make her a complete player. She brings a lively touch to attacking transitions and represents one of the great promises of Swiss football.
Sydney Schertenleib, power and speed in attack
Often mistaken for a defensive player, Sydney Schertenleib actually plays in attack, and not just anywhere: at FC Barcelona. Tall, fast, and agile with the ball at her feet, she combines physical power with technical finesse. Her dribbling on the wing, her ability to pin down and eliminate, as well as her heading ability, make her a formidable asset in the final meters. An atypical profile that can cause problems for the Finnish defense.

Finnish side: tactical rigor and experience
Tinja-Riikka Korpela, experienced goalkeeper
Capable of shining in major matches, Korpela remains one of the iconic faces of the Finnish national team. Her poise in the air, composure, and positioning make her a difficult goalkeeper to beat. She could well be the key to containing Switzerland's attacking fire.
Linda Sällström, the permanent danger
Even though she's nearing the end of her career, Sällström remains a unique striker. Few players still possess that goal-scoring flair, that ability to strike at the right moment. One chance is enough for her. The Swiss defense will have to remain focused from start to finish.
Emma Koivisto, the silent engine
A key player in the team's balance, Koivisto excels in a box-to-box role. She covers a lot of ground, cuts off passing lanes, and actively participates in transition phases. She will be essential in disrupting the Swiss midfield and relaunching Finnish attacks.
A decisive match for the rest of the tournament
Switzerland approaches this match with ambition and confidence in its younger generation. The challenge will be to convert this energy into effectiveness against a Finland team renowned for its realism. This match could well decide the outcome of the group and shape Switzerland's future.
