💨 Abstract

England secured a Euro 2025 semi-final spot by defeating Sweden in a dramatic penalty shootout. The Lionesses, trailing 2-0, staged a comeback with late goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang. Sweden's 18-year-old defender Smilla Holmberg's missed penalty was decisive. Criticism followed Sweden's decision to let Holmberg, an inexperienced player, take the crucial penalty.
