- Switzerland loses the Nations League match away against Norway 1:2.
- In the 83rd minute, Sydney Schertenleib equalized the game with a beautiful shot from distance.
- After the game, she is disappointed about the result, but when asked about the goal, she smiles. And she admits that her batteries were already completely flat by then, which is why she pulled the trigger from there.
Sydney Schertenleib is omnipresent in the attack. There is hardly a Swiss attack in which she does not have her feet in the game. In the 83rd minute, Lia Wälti won the ball and flicked it on to Schertenleib, who got the ball in front of her and took a shot from a good 20 meters. And the shot is spot on, the well-deserved equalizer is perfect. It would have been a worthy finish.
It would have been, because Norway then scored the winner to make it 2:1. Nevertheless, the Swiss can leave the pitch with their heads held high after their performance, because the team's performance was pleasing. This was particularly true of Sydney Schertenleib, who showed her class time and again and could hardly be separated from the ball.
When asked about her goal, the 18-year-old Barça player herself had to smile after the game: "Honestly, I just died, my legs were dead. That's why I wanted to finish as quickly as possible." But she also saw that the goalkeeper was moving sideways. "Of course it was a cool feeling to score the 1:1. But it's a shame we conceded the 2:1 afterwards," said Schertenleib.
