Denmark 1-0 Sweden: Euro 2025 result as Angeldahl's goal sees Sweden begin Group C with victory in Geneva

Filippa Angeldahl scored the winner as Sweden began their Euro 2025 campaign with a 1-0 over neighbours Denmark.

The talking point was a VAR check over a potential handball against Sweden's Madelen Janogy who was off balance as the ball appeared to hit her hand following a Denmark free-kick. After a wait of over four minutes, the referee said no penalty.

Sweden dominated possession but created few clear-cut chances. The best of them fell to Angeldahl with a free-kick from the edge of the box which was brilliantly tipped over by the keeper.

The Danes defended well and their best chance of the half fell to Pernille Harder who dinked an effort over.

Peter Gerhardsson's side broke the deadlock at the start of the second half when Kosovare Asllani found Angeldahl whose fierce low strike nestled in the bottom corner.

Denmark made substitutions including the introduction of 37-year-old Nadia Nadim and they came agonisingly close to an equaliser when Harder's long-range effort rattled the bar late on.

But Sweden, considered dark horses for the tournament, held on to begin their campaign with a victory.

It was a far cry from their 6-1 victory over Denmark in the UEFA Women's Nations League last month but Sweden will be pleased to begin their tournament with a win and a clean sheet.

They were not at their best with Stina Blackstenius, who scored a hat-trick against the Danes last month, largely isolated up front.

Filippa Angeldahl was a constant threat, playing in the pockets between the Danish defence and midfield, and it was little surprise that she ended up on the scoresheet.

For Denmark, there were plenty of positives like their defending and the performances of Pernille Harder and Emma Snerle in the second half, but they may feel Sweden were there for the taking.

Angeldahl scores the winner in the second half as Sweden hang on for a 1-0 victory.

A cross is floated in, Harder pulls away from her marker and heads it over the bar. She has been impressive in the 2nd half.

Thomsen cuts inside but her low shot from outside the box lacks power and is comfortable for the keeper.

ADDED TIME
There will be NINE added minutes, not sure why so much time has been added on but the Danes won't be complaining.

Denmark bring on Troelsgaard for the closing minutes.

CLOSE!
From a Denmark corner, Harder's header is charged down and Nadim's bicycle kick is comfortably saved.

The stats say it all, 13 attempts by Sweden compared with Denmark's 4.

Janogy plants a header just wide. And that is her last contribution as she is subbed off for Blomqvist. Holmberg is also on.

DOUBLE SUB
