Spain Defeats Germany to Reach Women's Euro Final

Spain reached their first-ever Women's European Championship final after defeating Germany 1-0 in extra time in Zurich, with Aitana Bonmati scoring the decisive goal in the 113th minute. This victory was Spain's first over Germany in a major tournament. Spain dominated possession, with captain Irene Paredes hitting the post and goalkeeper Cata Coll making crucial saves to secure the clean sheet. Germany, missing key defenders due to injury and suspension, failed to register a shot on target. Spain will face reigning champions England in the final in Basel, a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final, which Spain won. A win would give Spain their first Euro title and make them only the third nation to hold both the Women's World Cup and European Championship simultaneously.
