Iceland became the first team to be knocked out of Euro 2025 as second-half goals from Geraldine Reuteler and Alayah Pilgrim gave hosts Switzerland a 2-0 victory in Bern.

Thorsteinn Halldorsson's side needed to gain at least a point to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive.

But Switzerland boosted their chances of progressing past the group stage when Reuteler clinically swept past Cecilia Runarsdottir in the 76th minute.

A deflected finish from Pilgrim sealed Iceland's fate with less than a minute of normal time remaining, sending the Swiss crowd into bedlam at Wankdorf Stadium.

Switzerland had a goal chalked off in the first half after Glodis Perla Viggosdottir guided Svenja Folmli's header past her own keeper.

But the Iceland captain was let off the hook, with the referee deciding she had been unfairly blocked after reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor.

In the end it did not matter, withPilgrim's deflected finish proving decisive and ensuring Switzerland's Euros future rests in their own hands - with a draw against Finland on Thursday enough to secure second place in Group A.

What was the main talking point?

Switzerland came away from their opening defeat by Norway in Basel disappointed they did not have more to show for their performance.

And it seemed like the same would ring true in Bern, with Pia Sundhage's side unable to make the most of their control on the game.

They left it late, but eventually Switzerland stepped up to the task and avoided another a disheartening result in front of their devoted fans on home soil.

A moment of magic from Sydney Schertenleib set them on their way, with the 18-year-old swivelling skilfully and putting Reuteler through on goal, before Pilgrim confidently took aim from the edge of the area to crush Iceland's dreams.

For Iceland, it is a third consecutive European Championship that has come to an end at the group stage.

Which players stood out?

While Reuteler once again impressed with an important goal, Iman Beney gave Women's Super League (WSL) fans a glimpse of what to expect next season.

The 18-year-old full-back, who has been signed by Manchester City, was relentless in her running - darting up and down the right wing to contribute defensively, while proving a threat in attack.

She had Swiss fans celebrating just before half-time before they realised her long-range strike had only rippled the side-netting, while she forced a fingertip save from Runarsdottir and rattled the crossbar moments after Reuteler's opener.

The standout stats

• At 18 years and 157 days old, Schertenleib was the third-youngest player to provide an assist in a Euros match since 2013 - after Norway's Ada Hegerberg and Caroline Graham Hansen.
• Iceland extended their winless run in the Euros to nine matches (D3, L6).

What next for these teams?

Switzerland play Finland in a decisive final group-stage game in Geneva on Thursday (20:00 BST), while Iceland will hope to give their travelling fans something to cheer when they kick off against Norway at the same time in Thun.
