England defeated Germany 2-1 in the European Championship final to win its first significant women’s soccer title. Chloe Kelly scored the game-winning goal on a rebound in the second overtime period after Germany failed to cleanly clear a corner. At Wembley Stadium, goals by Lina Magull of Germany and Ella Toone of England left the score at 1-1 after 90 minutes. Extra time was used to determine the outcome.
Have a look at the key points and the highlights along with the women’s 2022 Euro prize money
Sarina Wiegman, the coach of England, made history by becoming the first manager to win the Euros with two different teams after leading her native Netherlands to victory in 2017.
After the final horn, the England players danced as the crowd sung their national anthem, Sweet Caroline.
The opening goal of the match was scored by England in the 62nd minute by striker Ella Toone in front of a full house at Wembley Stadium.
Since England and Germany’s last match, women’s football in Europe has grown significantly, as evidenced by the 87,192 spectators, a record for either a men’s or women’s Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) game.
Kelly made a huge play to win it for England and excite the home crowd after Lina Magull, a replacement, offered Germany a chance to level the game and force overtime.
When striker Alexandra Popp, who had six goals in five games in her first Euros, had to exit the game due to a muscle injury, Germany suffered a setback. She was replaced in the lineup by Lea Schuller.
Although the first half of the game was fairly difficult, there was no scoring despite Martina Voss’s team Tecklenburg’s failed opportunity to put Popp in the penalty area.
Toone’s first goal as a substitute came just after the hour mark and was beautifully chipped in.
However, that was overturned by Magull, who scored an equaliser from close range 17 minutes later after the hosts had been forced back by their opponents.
The expectation of Germany winning a record-tying seventh European Championship at the home of English football began to take hold when the score remained locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes, forcing extra time.
Before Kelly, who had just moments earlier urged the audience to support the squad, reacted quickly to score the winning goal and hand Germany its first defeat in a major final, in the 110th minute.
Third Place:
A third-place play-off was not held in the competition this summer.
In the past, the competition had matches between its two unsuccessful semifinalists, but it gave up the custom in 1995.
Top Scorer:
The Grifols Top Scorer rankings for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 are led by England forward Beth Mead, who is followed by German forward Alexandra Popp and English forward Alessia Russo.
Mead and Popp were tied going into the final with six goals each (tying Inka Grings’ finals record from 2009), but England No. 7 had a 5-0 lead on assists, which was the first tiebreaker instead of the number of minutes played. Mead’s position as the top scorer was confirmed when Popp was forced to leave the German team due to an injury he sustained during the Wembley exhibition match.
Mead was the player of the tournament.
