The final of the women's Euros, like many of the games throughout, was an excellent game. Germany looked the more dangerous and more organized squad for most of the game, and but for some near misses could easily have won. But it was two goals from English substitutes (Toone and Kelly) that proved decisive. Toone chipped the keeper beautifully after a lightning breakaway just after the hour mark, then Magull finished smartly from a fine entry ball to level things near the end of regulation. Kelly settled matters with ten minutes to go in extra time by poking the ball into the net at close range after a corner kick scramble. England dominated the second half of injury time after looking second best most of the game. The play was physical, and at a high technical level.
