Euro 2025: Spain Ruthlessly Ends Switzerland’s Spirited Run in Quarterfinals

BERN, SWITZERLAND, JUL 18 – Spain overcame two missed penalties and a late red card to defeat hosts Switzerland 2-0 and advance to their first UEFA Women's Euro semifinal since 1997, officials said.

  • On July 18, 2025 at Wankdorf Stadium in Bern, Spain's women's team defeated Switzerland 2-0 in the quarter-finals, with Athenea del Castillo coming off the bench to score, Reuters said.
  • After a 2023 World Cup triumph and a quarter-final exit at Euro 2022, Spain women's national football team sought their first knockout win at the Euros, as La Roja had never won a knockout match before.
  • After a goalless first half, Spain surged when Athenea del Castillo scored in the 66th minute, set up by Aitana Bonmati's backheel assist, and Claudia Pina added a second five minutes later.
  • Despite missing two penalties, Noelle Maritz received a straight red card in stoppage time.
  • Looking ahead to the final, Spain will face France or Germany in Wednesday’s semi-final in Zurich, with only one team lifting the trophy on Sunday, July 27.
