GENEVA, Switzerland -- Cristiana Girelli is no stranger to scoring goals; the Italy and Juventus forward has found the back of the net 61 times for her country and was the top scorer in Serie A last season. But the 35-year-old's brace against Norway on Thursday night -- in a thrilling 2-1 victory to send Italy to the semifinals of Euro 2025 -- are surely now the most prized finishes among a hugely impressive collection.
Girelli's goals have helped to write history, earning Italy a place in the last four of the tournament for the first time in 28 years, where they will take on either England or Sweden for a spot in the final.
