England Scores Late Winner to Beat Italy, Reach Women's Euro 2025 Final

England secured a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over Italy in the Women's Euro 2025 semifinal, thanks to Chloe Kelly's decisive late goal. Italy initially took the lead through Barbara Bonansea, but substitute Michelle Agyemang equalized in stoppage time, pushing the match into extra time. Kelly scored the winner in the 119th minute by converting the rebound after her penalty was saved, completing England's remarkable comeback and sending them to their third consecutive major final. England, the reigning champions, will face either Spain or Germany in the final, with the two set to clash in the other semifinal. The match highlighted England's resilience, echoing their previous quarterfinal comeback against Sweden, and showcased Italy's strong defensive effort despite their eventual heartbreak. Manager Sarina Wiegman, who has now reached five major finals, praised the team's spirit, while England's squad dealt with off-field challenges including racial abuse aimed at defender Jess Carter.
