Norway Women secured their second straight win at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 after thrashing Finland 2-1 on Sunday, July 6. Star winger Caroline Graham Hansen scored a dramatic late goal during the game’s 84th minute.
Hansen's smart cross turned into a goal that directly went into the net. The goal sealed a vital three points for Norway that kept them sitting atop of Group A with six points.
Norway had gone ahead in the first half, thanks to Eva Nyström's own goal in the third minute. However, Finland was able to equalise 30 minutes after. The game was evenly matched for much of the second half. The latter was firm in keeping the former at bay, as Ada Hegerberg’s attempt was blocked by goalkeeper Anna Koivunen.
