England staged a remarkable comeback against Sweden, overcoming a 2-0 deficit to secure a place in the Euro 2025 semi-finals after a penalty shootout. Goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang equalized in the second half, forcing extra time. England's penalty shootout saw Alessia Russo score first, but three penalties were saved by Sweden's Jennifer Falk. Chloe Kelly later scored, but Falk's miss sent the game to sudden death. Bronze's successful penalty and a miss from Smilla Holmberg sealed the win for England, marking their strong performance in recent Euro tournaments.
"You can see the celebrations; the fans were behind us the whole game. Even when we were 2-0 down, they knew we could bring this back, and you don't ever write us off."
"It was stressful. Stressful watching, stressful playing. Every time I saved one, I was just thinking 'please put it in, so we have a bit of a cushion!' I'm just happy and relieved now."
