England has secured a spot in the Euro 2025 final after a dramatic comeback victory over Italy in extra time. The 2-1 win, sealed by Chloe Kelly’s late rebound goal, marked a thrilling conclusion to another nail-biting evening at the tournament.
Reigning champions England produced yet another remarkable turnaround, with teenage striker Michelle Agyemang scoring her second goal of the tournament and keeping England in contention when she equalized in the 96th minute. Fellow substitute Chloe Kelly then sealed the win for England with a minute left in extra time, sending the delirious crowd into raptures.
Agyemang’s performance was instrumental in England’s victory, with the 19-year-old scoring her second goal of the tournament and delivering a fairytale story that has captivated Europe’s biggest stage.

The 19-year-old Agyemang has emerged as a star player for England, and her performance will be talked about in the build-up to Sunday’s final.
