Late substitute Agyemang forces extra time before Kelly's last-gasp winner seals match

'Movie Finish' Which England Boss Enjoys

GENEVA - England manager Sarina Wiegman said she felt "many emotions" after her team produced another dramatic comeback to beat Italy in extra time on July 22 and reach the final of the Women's Euro 2025.

"I feel relief, I feel happy - it feels a bit surreal, but we are here and we are going to the final," she said following the 2-1 semi-final win in Geneva, secured thanks to a Chloe Kelly goal in the 119th minute.

Italy were seconds away from a shock victory over the defending champions and a place in the final as they led deep into stoppage time thanks to Barbara Bonansea's 33rd-minute goal.

But substitute Michelle Agyemang equalised for England in the sixth minute of stoppage time to force the extra period, before Kelly - who had also come off the bench - followed in to score the deciding goal after her penalty had been saved, just as another shoot-out loomed.

"It does feel like a movie. When it finishes like that I am enjoying it, but it was a little bit dramatic," smiled Wiegman.
