Despite his defeat against Spain (1-3)Italy rises in the quarterfinals of Euro 2025. And it cannot be said that this qualification is an undeservedness since the players of Andrea Soncin held the dating high to those of Montse Tomé. After hearing during their first two outings, the Spaniards had a lot more harm this Friday evening, recovering from it only to beautiful strikes of Athenea del Castillo and Patricia Guijarro, then a goal at close range of Esther González. They had previously cashed the opening of the Elisabetta Oliviero score. With 14 goals in the group phase, the Roja equal the record set by England in 2022.
If Italy did not need points to qualify, it is thanks to the underperformance of Portugal against Belgium (1-2). Browsers took the water in the third minute, with a goal from Tessa Wullaert. The late equalization of Telma Incarnação did not change anything in the scenario of this group B, especially since Raming Tysiak quickly gave the Belgians the advantage.
In quarters, Spain will face Switzerland, while Italy will be opposed to Norway.
