England Lionesses Edge Sweden in Dramatic Shootout

England's Lionesses mounted a remarkable comeback to defeat Sweden in the Euro 2025 quarter-finals, overturning a 2-0 deficit with late goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang to force extra time. England struggled in the first half but turned the match around with key substitutions, notably Chloe Kelly's involvement in both goals. The game ended level after extra time, leading to a tense penalty shootout in which only five of fourteen kicks were converted. England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton and Sweden's Jennifer Falk both made crucial saves, with Bronze scoring the decisive penalty in sudden death before Smilla Holmberg missed for Sweden. England now advances to face Italy in the semi-finals, marking their sixth consecutive semi-final at a major tournament under Sarina Wiegman. The result highlights the Lionesses' resilience and tactical adaptability as they continue their bid for back-to-back European titles.
