Russia celebrate qualifying in MoscowMikhail Shapaev/RFS
Russia reached their sixth final tournament out of the last seven as, just as in the 2009 play-offs against Scotland, they made the most of a first-leg away win. Both teams had chances, with home goalkeeper Elvira Todua making more than one key save to thwart Portugal s hopes of repeating their 2017 finals debut.
Switzerland celebrate their equaliserGetty Images
Switzerland denied Czech Republic a debut finals after the first-ever UEFA Women s EURO play-off penalty shoot-out. Early in the second half, Kateřina Svitková gave the away side the advantage when she struck from distance for her second goal of the tie. The Swiss then made two substitutions and, three minutes after coming on, Coumba Sow latched onto a Lia Wälti pass to equalise. There were no more goals and in a shoot-out that swung both ways, it was Svitková who hit the woodwork with the last Czech kick.
