In a pulsating quarter‑final at the Women’s EURO, England pulled off a comeback for the ages, overturning a 2‑0 deficit to defeat Sweden via penalties and book a semi‑final clash with Italy.

Sweden come into the clash as group-winners, with a spotless record that also included a 4-1 win over Germany. The Lionesses' tournament pedigree might see them go into the quarterfinal as favourites, but Sweden have been one of the best teams at Euro 2025 so far.
