Chloe Kelly's late-game heroics secured England's place in the Women's European Championship final as they bested Italy 2-1 after extra time on Tuesday. England, trailing after the first half, equalized via Michelle Agyemang just as regular time expired, setting the stage for a tense finale.
In extra time, Beth Mead was fouled, granting England a penalty. Though Kelly's initial shot was stopped by Italy's goalkeeper, Laura Giuliani, she was quick to capitalize on the rebound, ensuring England's advancement to face either Spain or Germany in the final showdown.
The win marks England's third consecutive major tournament final appearance, coming off their Euro 2022 victory and subsequent World Cup appearance. Italy's strong defense was ultimately undone in the dramatic closing moments, leaving them to reflect on their near-miss and plan for future successes.
