The Swiss women’s team suffered another defeat in its final preparation meeting for the Euro. In Zurich, Nils Nielsen’s daughters were beaten 4-0 by England.
So certainly, the addition was still less heavy than in Erfurt once morest Germany on June 24 (7-0), thanks to better resistance, especially in the first period, and more presence in the duels. But over time, the better team ended up dropping the shoulder. The English, who will be among the favorites next week at home, scored through Russo (56th), Stanway (74th / penalty), England (76th) and Scott (94th).
no danger
Switzerland had previously come close to the code several times, especially at the start of the game. Exemplary defensive behavior, mixed with a lack of accuracy in finishing among the visitors, had however allowed the Helvetians to keep the 0-0 for just under an hour. But on the other hand, they have almost failed to create danger.
Its a priori most creative player, Ramona Bachmann, had to leave on injury following the hour of play. The member of Paris Saint-Germain was hit in one hand. The severity of his injury is not known at this time.
It will now be a question of concentrating on the first match of the Euro, scheduled for Saturday July 9 once morest Portugal in group C. This part is likely to be crucial, the two other teams of this group – the Netherlands and Sweden – seeming superior to the Swiss.
