FULL-TIME! Switzerland 1-2 Norway
Norway eke out victory over Switzerland to deal the host nation a big blow in their hopes of Euros joy!
Boos sound around stadium as the full-time whistle blows, but it’s a dream start for the competition’s dark horses, who right their wrongs from the first half to win.

CHANCE! Switzerland 1-2 Norway
90 mins: Last-ditch defending from Norway!
A cross makes it all the way through to Beney on the edge of the six-yard box, who has the entire goal to aim at. However, Hansen throws her body at it and manages to put in a goal-saving block.
It then falls to Pilgrim who too has her effort blocked by a desperate Norway body.
SEVEN minutes added on, and at the moment, Norway are holding on.

CHANCE! Switzerland 1-2 Norway
88 mins: That could’ve put it to bed!
Bizet is playing through and gets it out of her feet quickly to avoid the on-rushing keeper, lofting it beyond Peng.
However, she can only watch it bounce the wrong side of the post and hit the side-netting.
A big let-off for the host nation, who themselves are running out of steam.

CHANCE! Switzerland 1-2 Norway
82 mins: What a golden chance to equalise!
Reuteler is slipped in behind and tries to lift it over the keeper, but she puts too much on it and dinks it onto the roof of the net!
The flag goes up, perhaps acting to spare her blushes – but replays show she was onside. It would’ve counted.

Switzerland 1-2 Norway
Just seen the semi-automated offside replays of the decision that chalked off Switzerland’s penalty.
Off by a toe. A HUGE lifeline for the Norwegians.

Switzerland 1-2 Norway
75 mins: Now’s your time take a breath. I feel like this might be a pretty chaotic final 15 minutes.
Ada Hegerberg has just been subbed after her penalty shocker – she’s lucky that blunder hasn’t yet cost her team the lead…

PENALTY?! Switzerland 1-2 Norway
And now Switzerland have the chance to equalise! Or do they! Riesen goes to ground in the box after Harviken tugs at her shirt, but there’s a let-off for Norway as VAR spots offside!

MISSED PENALTY! Switzerland 1-2 Norway
Switzerland have a golden chance to wrap up the game after a handball from Reuteler in the box.
Up steps Ada Hegerberg but, with St Jakob Park turning into a cauldron of ear-splitting whistles, Hegerberg drags wide!
