UEFA WOMEN’S EUROS 2025 QUARTER-FINAL : NORWAY VS ITALY – 16/07/2025 (PHOTO – CRISTIANA GIRELLI CELEBRATES)

THIS WAS A HIGHLY ENERGETIC, EXCITING WATCH LAST NIGHT!

NORWAY MADE 374 PASSES IN TOTAL, WITH A 77% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 7 CORNERS, PLUS 9 SHOTS, WITH 1 ON TARGET FROM ADA HEGERBERG AT 66 MINS! ITALY MADE 382 PASSES, WITH A 78% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 7 CORNERS, PLUS 13 SHOTS WITH 6 ON TARGET, INCLUDING A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM CRISTIANA GIRELLI, WITH THE 1ST STUNNER AT 50 MINS. SO, AFTER NORWAY’S ADA HEGERBERG REACHED-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET AT 66 MINS., (WHICH WAS REDEMPTION FOR HER, AFTER PREVIOUSLY MISSING A PENALTY) EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A 1 – 1 DRAW!  

 BUT NOT-TO-BE, BECAUSE JUST-LIKE-THAT, AT 90 MINS., CRISTIANA GIRELLI PULLED ANOTHER-ONE-OUT-OF-THE-BAG, WITH A MATCH-WINNING HEADER! SO THIS EXCITING MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 – 1 WIN TO ITALY, MEANING NORWAY ARE NOW OUT OF THE EUROS, AND ITALY WILL RETURN TO GENEVA NEXT TUESDAY TO PLAY EITHER ENGLAND OR SWEDEN.
