With an undisputed 2-0 win over the Romanians, Switzerland celebrates its sixth victory in the seventh match of the Eurocup qualifying round.
The Swiss women’s team is still on its way to Euro 2022 in England. Coach Nils Nielsen’s women celebrated their sixth victory in their seventh match with a 2-0 win in Romania.
The field was ready for victory in Mogosoaia after 28 minutes: ideally thrown by Géraldine Reuteler, Coumba Sow stayed calm and lifted the leather from a short distance to the left corner to make it 1-0. For Nati Djibril Sow’s player’s cousin it was the second goal in the Swiss suit. Less than a minute earlier, Fabienne Humm had missed a header after good preparatory work by Ramona Bachmann, who shone at half-time. It was the first surprise of the game after an initial phase with no real chances to score.
No problems and no glare
The Swiss, who had dropped the Romanians 6-0 in the first leg, almost never got into trouble. It is also worth mentioning in view of the fact that there was no regular quartet on defense with Rahel Kiwic, Viola Calligaris, Noëlle Maritz and Luana Bühler. But Lia Wälti, a trained midfielder, orchestrated the defense perfectly as in 2-1 against Belgium.
After some missed chances by Reuteler (68th) and substitute Alisha Lehmann (69th), Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic made the preliminary decision: Nati’s record scorer (60 goals) scored in the 79th minute after a variant shot corner.
One more point missing
This means that a draw in the final game on December 1 in Belgium would be enough for the Swiss women to qualify for the European Championship and secure group victory. Even in the event of a defeat, nothing would be lost: the 3 best runners-up in the group also qualify directly for the final round, the other 6 dispute a tiebreaker for 3 more places.
