(Reuters) -Norway defender Maren Mjelde had no issue handing over the captain's armband to Ada Hegerberg ahead of the Women's Euros, and the striker responded by scoring a vital equaliser in their side's 2-1 Group A win over hosts Switzerland that puts them firmly in control of their own destiny.
The Norwegians take on second-placed Finland in Sion on Sunday knowing that a win for either team will see them safely through to the knockout stage, and Mjelde is hoping that Hegerberg can perform more of her heroics against the Finns.
