England won it 😀
As usual making hard work of it with extra time and penalties, they certainly give you some drama.
Spain on top for most of the game, but not turning the possession into real chances.
One header taken in the first half, Russo equalising in the 2nd half (I like Russo she does all the hard work upfront usually on her own).
England improved a lot when Chloe Kelly came on for the injured James.
Lucy Bronze not having her best game but not surprising after revealing afterwards she had played the whole tournament with a leg fracture (echoes of Stuart Pearce) 😀
After the Sweden Q/F win on penalties where they won 3-2 despite missing 4 penalties, I wasn't feeling confident.
Our first penalty was missed, A strange affair as Beth Mead scored despite slipping but the ref ordered a re-take for a double touch. They must have changed the rules for this competition as when Alvarez did it for Athletico Madrid in the Champions League the goal was disallowed and no re-take given?
The re-take was saved, then Spain scored, England made it 1-1 then Hannah Hampton made 2 great saves then Williamson missed but so did the next Spain player.
Leaving it up to Chloe Kelly to hit the winner again as she did in the last Euro's.
