💨 Abstract

England successfully defended their European Championship title against Spain, winning on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Mariona Caldentey scored for Spain in the first half, but Chloe Kelly's cross helped Alessio Russo equalize. In the penalty shootout, Beth Mead's initial successful penalty was disallowed due to a double touch, but England ultimately won, thanks to Kelly's successful penalty. This game followed a recent rule change allowing retakes for unintentional double touches on penalties.
