European Championship thriller in extra time: hosts England fight their way into the semi-finals

In the first quarter-final of the European Football Championship in England, the hosts had to tremble for a long time against Spain. It was not until six minutes before the end of normal time that Manchester United’s Ella Toone equalised the score at 1-1 in Brighton.

Bayern Munich’s Georgia Stanway then made the semi-finals perfect with her long-range strike to make it 2-1. Esther González scored the opening goal for Spain in the 54th minute. The title favourites from the island will now face the winner of the Sweden-Belgium match in the last four. So far, the English women have no European Championship title to their name.

Germany will fight for a place in the semi-finals against Austria in Brentford in west London this evening. The two women’s teams from France and the Netherlands will meet on Saturday.

The DFB eleven can once again call on Bundesliga top scorer Lea Schüller after a one-week break from training due to a Corona infection. However, she will probably only have a wild card role as she was best replaced by captain Alexandra Popp and is behind in training after a week in the hotel room.

Free drinks and Germany flags await the DFB team’s loyal fans on the sidelines of the game in Brentford. The women’s team has a flawless record in England so far: Three group matches, three victories and no goals conceded.
