Finland were positive, played with intent, played some really good football and deserved at least a draw out of the game in my opinion.

Finland did create chances, but at this level you have got to be clinical.
I think Marko Saloranta should be really proud of his players today.

Spare a thought for Finland.
They dominated every single metric in the game, apart from the only one that truly matters.
They still have a chance at making the knockout stages but they will likely need to overcome hosts Switzerland in their last game to do so.

Definitely lucky.
Deep inside Norway will know that's a lot of relief to get the three points over the line.
Sometimes it's not about the performance, it's about the result.

Former Scotland captain on BBC Two
We all said it was a cross, but with players like this they do try these things.
Caroline Graham Hansen is so comfortable under pressure. It feels like there was an element of fortune to that goal.

'Jewel in the crown' Hansen puts Norway back in the lead
Well when you've got a player with the talent and quality of Caroline Graham Hansen you will always have a chance to win.
As well as scoring the game’s winning goal she had more touches in the opposition’s box (11) and completed more dribbles (5) than any other player in this match, while no Norway player won possession more times (8) or won more duels (6) than her.

They lead the way on six points from two games, while Finland have three points from two games.
If Switzerland avoid defeat against Iceland later on the Norwegians will be confirmed as group winners.

Fantastic for Norway. The performance wasn't there today but the result was.
They've won ugly, they've shown their resilience, their strong mentality.
Caroline Graham Hansen, I think she was the only one today for Norway who stood up and said 'I'll take the game by the scruff of the neck' and she did. She was the catalyst and she got that winning goal.

Finland looked the stronger side, but when you have a player like Caroline Graham Hansen in the team - she's a match-winner. Norway will feel very fortunate.

Norway have done it!
It wasn't pretty at times but they won't care.
Caroline Graham Hansen's world class quality (and a whole chunk of luck) makes it two wins from two games.
Finland are left wondering what might have been.

One last long ball up the pitch but no one in white can bring it under control and it goes behind for a Norway goal kick.

I was thinking Anna Koivunen was going to go with her hands then!
Norway 2-1 Finland
The corner comes in and Kouivunen is still in the final third here.
She lays the ball down the line for Evaliina Summanen to cross but it's poor and the chance is lost.
Finland's hopes of getting a draw here look to have gone with it.

Anna Kouivunen runs up from the back but she's been told to head back to her goal.

Finland continue to push forward for a late leveller here and they've got a corner.
It's now or never.

Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3
I think Caroline Graham Hansen has probably been Norway's best player. The most dangerous player for them, she's looked dangerous on that right side, got some really good balls into the box.
But really I think over the course of the game Finland have been the better side but haven't been able to get that second goal like Norway have at the moment.
Graham Hansen scores late winner as Norway beat Finland
Norway became the first side to reach the Euro 2025 quarter-finals after Caroline Graham Hansen's late goal snatched victory against Finland.
They won Group A after Switzerland beat Iceland in Sunday's late game as their victory against the Swiss in their opening fixture means they are guaranteed to finish top due to their head-to-head record.
Finland were the better side for the majority of the game, but Barcelona's Graham Hansen netted the winner with six minutes of normal time remaining when a cross went in off the far post.
Norway were gifted an early lead when Eva Nystrom knocked a Graham Hansen cross into her own net after just 129 seconds.
Gemma Grainger's side were unable to capitalise on their advantage as Finland soon pressed for an equaliser, stretching the Norwegian defence and producing neat build-up routines.
Finland's persistence paid off when Oona Sevenius, brought in to replace Sanni Franssi for this game, whipped a brilliant side-footed effort into the far corner after her side overturned possession when Norway misplaced a pass playing out from the back.
Eveliina Summanen nearly put Finland in front when she unleashed a quick curling effort from the edge of the area in the second half, but her strike was denied by the far post.
Finland continued to press for a winner but were left frustrated by their inability to capitalise on chances as Norway sealed an arguably undeserved win.
There was momentary hope that Norway would improve on the underwhelming performance in their opening win against Switzerland, but they soon proved to be lacking sharpness once again.
Speaking on BBC Two, former Scotland defender Rachel Corsie called Norway a "disgrace" at half-time and things were arguably worse after the break, but their late push managed to salvage victory.
"I have played against Norway and normally they're very dominant," Corsie added. "This is the Euros. So often they have walked about - it is remarkable."
Finland created the best passages of play, fluidly zipping the ball around to work through the Norwegian midfield. They continually had their opponents beaten on the wings, knocking balls over the top to fashion opportunities.
Norway, on the other hand, looked disjointed. Grainger's side is one that is brimming with talent, but they have struggled to click at Euro 2025 and were unable to get the best out of Ada Hegerberg, Graham Hansen and Frida Maanum.
They found a way to win on Sunday but are still far from being a convincing, cohesive unit.
Nystrom own goal gives Norway lead over Finland
Finland were the more creative side on Sunday evening and they owed much of that to the work of Summanen.
The Tottenham midfielder, who delivered the assist in their 1-0 win against Iceland on the opening day, had excellent vision to pick out passes and spark attacks.
Sevenius and veteran forward Linda Sallstrom's efforts were also important. They regularly looked to carry the ball forward, beating their markers for pace and carving space behind the Norwegian defence.
Nobody made much of an impression for Norway, although Graham Hansen was one of the few players who continued to play with intent throughout in search of a winner.
Sevenius scores 'beautiful' equaliser for Finland against Norway
Norway have won both of their opening two games of a Women's Euros for the third time, after 1987 and 1993 - the two years they previously won the competition.
Norway have benefitted from five own goals in their Euros history, the most of any nation.
Captain Sallstrom made her ninth Euros appearance for Finland, the most of any player for her country.
Norway take on Iceland on Thursday, 10 July at 20:00 BST in their final group-stage game.
Finland will take on hosts Switzerland, who they are currently behind on goal difference, at the same time on Thursday as they look to book a spot in the last eight.
