Key events
Last night saw another TWO penalties missed at Euro 2025. Mariona Caldentey first dragged her effort wide in the ninth minute.
Then, in the closing stages of the match, Alexia Putellas had her attempt saved by Livia Peng.
That means only 12 out of the 25 penalties (48%) taken at the tournament so far have been scored!

“Afterwards, there was an awful lot of messing about. Probably more than you would expect after a briefly absorbing quarter-final whose outcome was never seriously in doubt. The Swiss players performed the world’s slowest lap of honour. The Spanish players posed for a group photo, but it kept having to be retaken as more players arrived. OK, now one more with Aitana. Now one more with Irene. Now one with the staff. Now in portrait for the ’gram. Then the teams gave each other an honour guard off the pitch. At one point you would swear someone laid out some picnic blankets and Scotch eggs…”
“Euro 2025 favourites Spain gave Switzerland hope before sealing their place in the semi-finals last night – but France or Germany could challenge their supremacy next Wednesday…”
Despite missing out on a place in the semi-finals last night, the Switzerland players stayed on the pitch to thank fans for their support.
