England have once again shown their fighting spirit on the big stage. The Lionesses secured their spot in the semifinal match with an exciting 2-1 victory against Italy in extra time in the Women’s Euro 2025 final race.
Barbara Bonansea’s stunning volley in the 33rd minute gave Italy the lead. The goal placed pressure on Sarina Wiegman’s team and silenced the England supporters.
The Lionesses, however, kept coming up. They kept pushing and finally got their reward deep into stoppage time.

The Opinion of Amit Mishra
There was more to this game than just strategy. It has to do with character. England is known for maintaining calm under pressure. They remained cool even when things were bad. They kept going, had faith in their abilities, and performed well under pressure.
Michelle Agyemang proved she is ready for the big stage. She’s not just a rising star anymore, she’s a match-winner.
Chloe Kelly continues to show why she’s trusted in the clutch moments. Her reaction to the saved penalty shows her mental toughness.
Moments like these build the foundation of champions, and that foundation is what took England to the Women’s Euro 2025 final once again.
