SuperSport on DStv and GOtv is Here for Her, and the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 has already delivered world-class football, thrilling moments, and a few surprises. As Matchday 2 unfolds and the race for quarterfinal qualification intensifies, several players have emerged as true standouts—lighting up the tournament in Switzerland with their skill, leadership, and game-changing performances.
Alexia Putellas: Scoring Goals for Fun
Spain’s captain has been electric, netting two goals in their 6-2 thrashing of Belgium (to add to one in the opening 5-0 win over Portugal) and earning Player of the Match honours. Back from her ACL injury, Putellas is orchestrating play and finding the net – showing she’s still one of the top midfield scorers in world football. Her timing in transition and calmness in tight spots have elevated Spain’s dominance, making her performances among the tournament’s most compelling.
Esther Gonzalez: Ruthless Instinct
The early pace-setter in the top-scorer race, Gonzalez hit a quickfire double in Spain’s opening 5-0 win over Portugal, and added another strike in their destruction of Belgium – leaving her level with teammate Putellas on three goals so far. The 32-year-old striker has shown ruthless instinct: an 87-second opener and a cool follow-up demonstrated her clinical finishing. With her composure and positional sense, Gonzalez is a major threat and a key reason Spain have been potent up front.
Geraldine Reuteler: The Swiss Metronome
Dubbed the “Swiss clock,” Reuteler has impressed across two matches: earning two Player of the Match accolades and scoring a superb opening goal in Switzerland’s 2-0 win over Iceland. Deploying her in midfield or attack, Switzerland has benefited from her high pass accuracy, recoveries, interceptions, duels won… and her ability to perform under pressure. She’s the heartbeat of the host side’s engine room.
Vivianne Miedema: The Proven Goal Machine
The Netherlands’ talisman hit a milestone by scoring her 100th international goal in their 3-0 win over Wales—shortly after returning from a hamstring setback. Miedema’s vision, calmness, and scoring instinct remain unmatched. Despite injury doubts, her early contribution shows she’s both healthy and hungry. She provides a constant attacking edge, and could tip the balance for the Dutch as tournament pressures mount.
Alice Sombath: Calm Contender in France’s Heartbeat
Twenty-one-year-old Alice Sombath stepped seamlessly into France’s starting XI against England, replacing the injured Griedge Mbock… and what a statement she made. Composed, calm, and commanding, she read the game expertly, winning key duels and snuffing out danger from Alessia Russo. Her vital block in the final moments kept Michelle Agyemang’s header off the line, safeguarding a crucial 2–1 victory. With only five caps to her name, Sombath has demonstrated maturity beyond her experience, forging a solid central partnership with Maëlle Lakrar.
