On the Red Warriors match

The Swiss women's team made a successful comeback. In their first match since the Euro, Pia Sundhage's players won 1-0 against Canada on Friday evening in Lucerne. The decisive goal was scored in the 12th minute by Alayah Pilgrim, who took the opportunity after a missed clearance from the opposing defense, following a move initiated by Sydney Schertenleib.

This dynamic start to the match rewarded the Swiss' attacking efforts, who were well-positioned and inspired during the first twenty minutes. The second half, however, was more difficult. Dominated, the Swiss had to rely on a very solid Livia Peng in goal. The Chelsea goalkeeper was notably saved by her post in the 86th minute, from a powerful strike from Sonis.

This encouraging victory allows Switzerland to launch its new preparation phase on a solid footing. Their next match: Tuesday against Scotland in Dunfermline.
