NOR 1-2 ITA, UEFA Women's Euro 2025: Girelli Inspires Italy To Seal Semis Spot
On a night of goals and drama for two veteran star strikers, Cristiani Girelli got the better of Ada Hegerberg to send Italy into the semifinals of the Women’s European Championship on Wednesday. Girelli’s 90th-minute header, her second goal of the game, sealed a 2-1 win over Norway, whose captain Hegerberg had tied the game after missing a penalty. Italy will return to Geneva next Tuesday to face either Sweden or England for its first Women’s Euros semifinal since 1997.
