Tournament favorite Spain has swept through Group B with a third straight win at the Women’s European Championship in Bern.

A win and a draw in their opening two Women's Euro Group B matches rendered Italy's 3-1 defeat by Spain on Friday irrelevant as they progressed to the knockout stage of the competition for the first time since 2013.

First place in Group B is on the line on Friday in Switzerland, as Spain and Italy lock horns in their last opening-round match of the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championship. Both teams started the tournament strong, but one side has the advantage heading into the final matchday.
