Germany defeats Denmark at Women’s Euro 2025, Sweden advances to quarterfinals

The German women’s national team secured a 2-1 victory over Denmark in Group C of Women’s Euro 2025 at St. Jakob-Park, Basel — though their performance was not entirely convincing.

The match featured several crucial VAR interventions — Germany’s opening goal was disallowed for offside, while a penalty initially awarded by referee Catarina Campos was changed to a free kick. Sjoeke Nüsken eventually brought Germany level from the spot, before Lea Schüller scored the winning goal.

In another match, Stina Blackstenius led Sweden to a commanding 3-0 victory over Poland. The Arsenal striker scored her 40th international goal, followed by goals from Kosovare Asllani and Lina Hurtig — securing Sweden’s place in the quarterfinals.

Two crucial matches are scheduled for tomorrow — England faces the Netherlands in a must-win Group D clash, while France has the opportunity to secure knockout stage qualification against Wales.
