ZURICH, Switzerland -- France stunned defending champions England to win their Euro 2025 Group D opener 2-1 in Zurich on Saturday.
Laurent Bonadei's side have enjoyed a remarkable run of form in 2025 and they continued this on a balmy evening in Switzerland as goals from Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore handed England a chastening defeat, who got a late consolation from Keira Walsh.
England headed into this tournament as one of the favorites, but were outclassed by the French for much of the game as they handed Sarina Wiegman's team a painful defeat.
