= Matchday 1 – 23–25 August =

In the opening round of Group A matches, Finland and the Netherlands showed that they would be contenders for qualification beyond the group stage. In the opening match of the tournament goals from Kirsten van de Ven and Karin Stevens would give the Dutch women a 2–0 victory over Ukraine. The evening fixture in the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki saw the host nation Finland begin their campaign with a 1–0 victory over Denmark. Maija Saari scored the first goal of the campaign, her first international goal.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11af800192-92fc4d206077-1000--pape-pounces-to-denmark-s-delight/|title=Pape pounces to Denmark's delight|date=August 26, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802220347/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11af800192-92fc4d206077-1000--pape-pounces-to-denmark-s-delight/|url-status=live}}

In Group B defending World and European Champions Germany set the marker, dispatching fellow contenders Norway 4–0. The champions and favourites to defend their title stuttered early on as they took a 1–0 lead, but in stoppage time three more goals helped the Germans to their victory and their lead in Group B. In the other match in Group B, France began their campaign with a win, recovering from a goal down to beat Iceland 3–1.

Group C opened with a surprise, World Cup quarter-finalists England beaten 2–1 by Group C outsiders Italy. England led 1–0 thanks to a Williams penalty just before half-time; however, goals from Panico and Tuttino gave Italy the victory. England finished the game with ten women after Casey Stoney was dismissed.{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/women/8219046.stm|title=England Women 1-2 Italy Women|date=August 25, 2009|via=news.bbc.co.uk|archive-date=February 21, 2023|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230221051023/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/women/8219046.stm|url-status=live}} In Group C's other match 2003 World Cup finalists Sweden opened their challenge with a comfortable 3–0 win over Russia.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11ae3d690c-0002ca2cbe34-1000--sweden-secure-first-game-success/|title=Sweden secure first-game success|date=August 25, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 3, 2022|archive-date=August 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220803033742/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11ae3d690c-0002ca2cbe34-1000--sweden-secure-first-game-success/|url-status=live}}

Finland continued their good form in Group A, following up their 1–0 victory with a 2–1 win against the Netherlands.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11af8ecbe0-d0bda2b18b41-1000--dutch-scalp-sends-finland-through/|title=Dutch scalp sends Finland through|date=August 26, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802221307/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11af8ecbe0-d0bda2b18b41-1000--dutch-scalp-sends-finland-through/|url-status=live}} Kalmari scored twice as the home nation moved into the quarter-finals as winners of Group A with a match to spare. The win for Finland would prove to be the end for Ukraine. Earlier on the Ukrainian team had been beaten by Denmark 2–1, and a result of the Dutch and Danes' meeting in the next round of Group games could no longer qualify for the quarter-finals. Maiken Pape scored three minutes from time to devastate the debut nation.

Group B saw holders Germany progress after another victory, this time a 5–1 success against the French.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11b0b8c4e7-e87c1ad2f179-1000--clinical-germany-breeze-through/|title=Clinical Germany breeze through|date=August 27, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802221306/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11b0b8c4e7-e87c1ad2f179-1000--clinical-germany-breeze-through/|url-status=live}} Norway recovered from their opening defeat to edge past Iceland by a single goal, a result which eliminated the Icelandic team.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11b0a2553b-488268079eb6-1000--teen-pedersen-accounts-for-iceland/|title=Teen Pedersen accounts for Iceland|date=August 27, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802220423/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11b0a2553b-488268079eb6-1000--teen-pedersen-accounts-for-iceland/|url-status=live}}

In Group C; Sweden booked their place in the last eight with a 2–0 win over Italy arguably the surprise package of the tournament so far. Two goals in the first twenty minutes killed the game for Sweden who now meet England in their final group match. Sweden's win in Turku meant that if England lost their match against Russia then their hopes would be over at the Group stage for the third successive Euro. Russia knowing a win would kickstart their campaign appeared certain to condemn the English to an exit as goals from Ksenia Tsybutovich and Olesya Kurochkina gave the Russians a 2–0 lead. However, that wasn't the end of the tale. England player Karen Carney reduced the gap and then just ten minutes later Carney dinked the ball through to Aluko who equalised for the England team. Two minutes before half-time Kelly Smith scored the fifth goal of the half and what proved to be the winner in a result which gives both sides a chance of qualifying.{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/women/8225825.stm|title=England women 3-2 Russia women|date=August 28, 2009|via=news.bbc.co.uk|archive-date=January 24, 2022|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124151011/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/women/8225825.stm|url-status=live}}

=Matchday 3 – 29–31 August=

With both Ukraine and Finland knowing where they would finish in the Group, the hosts made four changes to their line up for the final group game. The Ukrainian side took advantage of the changes and signed off from their first UEFA Women's Euro with a 1–0 victory. With everything to play for in the other Group A match, The Netherlands with goals from Sylvia Smit and Manon Melis took a 2–0 lead over Denmark. Rasmussen reduced the arrears however the Dutch would hold on to take second place and leave Denmark relying on results from Group B and Group C to now progress to the quarter-finals.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11b2da0e9b-2a9654ca061b-1000--resilient-dutch-reach-last-eight/|title=Resilient Dutch reach last eight|date=August 29, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802220346/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dc-0e11b2da0e9b-2a9654ca061b-1000--resilient-dutch-reach-last-eight/|url-status=live}}

=Quarter-finals – 3–4 September=

In the opening quarter-final in Turku, Group A winner Finland took on second-best third-place and Group C qualifiers England. England, seeking to reach the last four following their early elimination in 2005 started well; Aluko giving them a 1–0 half-time lead.{{cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/women-s-euro-2009-aluko-s-double-deflates-hosts-and-puts-england-into-semis-1781377.html | title=Women's Euro 2009: Aluko's double deflates hosts and puts England into | website=Independent.co.uk | date=3 September 2009 | access-date=14 August 2022 | archive-date=14 August 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220814220952/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/women-s-euro-2009-aluko-s-double-deflates-hosts-and-puts-england-into-semis-1781377.html | url-status=live }} A Williams goal put England 2–0 up on 49 minutes and in total control. The home team rallied a goal from Sjölund recovering the deficit to 2–1 before Aluko put England 3–1 up and with one foot in the last four a minute later. A Sällström goal proved mere consolation for the Home nation who went out of the tournament 3–2.{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/women/8234737.stm|title=Finland women 2-3 England women|date=September 3, 2009|via=news.bbc.co.uk|archive-date=August 2, 2022|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802160856/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/women/8234737.stm|url-status=live}}

In the second quarter-final held between the runners-up of Group A and Group B France took on Netherlands. In a tight match no goals would be scored in normal time or extra time forcing the first shootout of the tournament. After eight perfect penalties making the score 4–4, both teams missed their next two efforts as the tension continued to mount. However, the Dutch would prevail 5–4 to send out France, and book a date with England in the semi-finals.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dd-0e11b7462318-6251bff5009d-1000--oranje-through-after-shoot-out/|title=Oranje through after shoot-out|date=September 3, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802162052/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dd-0e11b7462318-6251bff5009d-1000--oranje-through-after-shoot-out/|url-status=live}}

In Friday's quarter-final matches, Germany took a 2–0 lead thanks to Two goals from Grings, making her top goalscorer in the tournament so far. Patriza Panico scored for Italy, and for a couple of moments it seemed that the holders may be in trouble. However, Germany soon regained control in possession and would win 2–1 to book their place in the semi-finals yet again.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dd-0e11b8a326d6-a800c027db95-1000--grings-goals-send-germany-through/|title=Grings goals send Germany through|date=September 4, 2009|website=UEFA}}

In the final match of the round, Norway began to impress. Two goals in 7 minutes meant that the Norwegian women led 2–0 at half-time against a very strong and very impressive Swedish side. Cecile Pedersen's goal on the hour meant Norway led one of the favourites in Sweden 3–0. Even though Sandell Svensson scored for Sweden it would prove to be no more than consolation as Norway won 3–1 to secure a semi-final spot with Germany and a chance to avenge the 4–0 loss suffered against the Germans in their opening game.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dd-0e11b8a81acb-75d0bff72f7e-1000--efficient-norway-oust-sweden/|title=Efficient Norway oust Sweden|date=September 4, 2009|website=UEFA|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802214531/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/01dd-0e11b8a81acb-75d0bff72f7e-1000--efficient-norway-oust-sweden/|url-status=live}}

England tried from the start to take the game to the favourites, Germany. But after missing several chances, England found themselves behind after 20 minutes of play when Germany scored in their very first attack (Birgit Prinz), and immediately scored a second—a long-range shot from Melanie Behringer to go 2–0 up.{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8248865.stm|title=Women's Euro 2009 final as it happened|date=September 10, 2009|via=news.bbc.co.uk|archive-date=July 31, 2022|access-date=August 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220731235306/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8248865.stm|url-status=live}} Two minutes later, England pulled one back (Karen Carney) and the game remained delicately balanced until half-time. The second half initially continued much the same as the first, with England generally attacking and Germany content to play a counter-attacking game. In the second half, Germany added a third (Kim Kulig) and England responded with their second (Kelly Smith), but when Grings scored Germany's fourth, England seemed to lose heart, and Germany were able to seal the win with a further two goals (Grings and Prinz getting their second goal each).{{Cite web |date= |title=UEFA Women's C'ship Fixtures & Results |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/woco/fixturesresults/round=15050/match=2001423/report=rp.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091231154134/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/woco/fixturesresults/round=15050/match=2001423/report=rp.html |archive-date=December 31, 2009 |website=UEFA}}
