When is it? How can you watch it? What are the possible line-ups? All you need to know about the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 Group C game between Portugal and ...

Nils Nielsen, Switzerland coach: "It's incredibly important, especially in a group like ours, that the first game provides us with at least one point so we are still in the tournament. They have players that ply their trade at top clubs across Europe and are a team that we fully respect but we know that we have our own strengths that will allow us to head into the game full of confidence, and we can compete with them. We know that Switzerland are the closest team to us in the rankings. While the pre-tournament results did not quite go their way, the team is relaxed and ready to get their Women's EURO campaign under way. The atmosphere is excellent and the mix of veterans from that Netherlands tournament plus new blood should make Portugal a better side. Switzerland have had some punishing friendly encounters –notably a 7-0 loss to Germany – but coach Nils Nielsen led Denmark to the final last time out, and his side should not be underestimated.

Minute-by-minute report: A stirring comeback from Portugal earned them a share of the spoils after conceding two early goals to the Swiss.

53 min: The Swiss show that while Portugal are in control of possession, they’re still a threat on the break as Bachman is sent scampering through on the inside-left channel. 49 min: Norton plays a lovely pass through two Swiss players to release Borges on the left. Portugal are getting more joy on the flanks – and if they continue to win corners that the Swiss defend so badly, it’s a tactic to stick with. 73 min: The Swiss keeper is up on her feet but before the corner comes in Maendly is replaces by Marti, a left-sided midfielder. Borges curls an inswinging corner in to the six-yard box where the centre-back Gomes throws herself at it, heading at Thalmann and then following up to tuck home the rebound. 55 min: Portugal are enjoying greater possession in the final third now, which is an improvement on the first half when most of their possession was sterile. Then Switzerland race down the other end, Sow swivelling in the box and firing a shot at the far post that Amado does brilliantly to hook wide with an outstretched toe. The Swiss midfielder watches it bounce and then loops a right-footed shot at goal that glances the bar. If only they had done that earlier in the game. If only they had done that earlier in the game. They started to hurt the Swiss by passing in behind. They started to hurt the Swiss by passing in behind.

The match will be played at Leigh Sports Village, a stadium with a capacity of 12,000 and the likes of Barcelona's Ana-Maria Crnogorčević and PSG's Ramona Bachmann will be on show for a Swiss side who will be hoping to spring a surprise this summer in England. However, the game between Portugal and Switzerland is sure to be tightly contested between two sides who will be fighting for their survival in the competition right from the start on Saturday. Most eyes will be drawn to Netherlands vs Sweden later in the day as the defending champions from 2017, the Dutch and the talismanic Vivienne Miedema, take on one of the favourites for the tournament in Sweden.

The shell-shocked Portuguese gradually worked their way into the game with striker Silva prominent, but they rarely looked like reducing the deficit as the ...

Switzerland can carry the ball into the Portuguese half, but Portugal regain possession. Portugal mount their own attack, but aren't positioned clearly on the right and the ball falls back to Thalmann in goal. Crnogorcevic tangles with Tatiana Pinto as Portugal launch another run on goal. Kiwic and Crnogorcevic both try and bundle the ball into goal, and Portugal have to defend very messily to get the ball clear. Portugal send a long, advantageous free kick in to Thalmann, who dips to catch it in her hands. She can't make anything of it, and the ball goes back for Portugal to try again. Another corner for Portugal on the right, Marchao taking the corner which Switzerland has to work to defend as it flies into the box. Portugal hold possession, but Switzerland seem to have the measure of this, even as Portugal play wider. As in the last half, Portugal have the bigger slice of possession but can't yet make it count. Portugal look to keep hanging around, but Switzerland punt the ball down the field before the energised Portugal inevitably come knocking again. Thalman receives some treatment and Switzerland sneak on some drinks. Amado, running in to regain position, stays down as Switzerland mount an attack.

We have a win, and don’t underestimate Austria — they are a very well-organized team,” England manager Sarina Wiegman, who coached the Netherlands to the 2017 title, told the BBC. “I’m not frustrated, I just think we can do better. Now unbeaten in 15 games over the last year, the England national team is still seeking a first major tournament title. The previous record attendance for a European Championship game was 41,301 for the 2013 final between Germany and Norway at the Friends Arena in Stockholm. It carries hopes that it will further boost the fast-growing audience for women’s soccer in Europe, and UEFA has said more than 500,000 tickets have been sold. We have to be a little calmer in the final stage.” - The match will stream on ESPN+ and kickoff at 12 p.m. EST.
