Aitana Bonmati’s strike in injury time in Downs Germany to send Spain to the Women’s Women 2025 against England.
Aitana Bonmati scored the only goal of the match at the end of an additional time as world champions Spain has ahead of Germany 1-0 In their semi-finals for Euro 2025 women to create a title decision maker this weekend against England.
A match stretched in Zurich on Wednesday turned to penalties, when the Ballon d’Or ruling Bonmati struck in the 113rd minute, surprising the generally reliable German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger at his nearby post.
It was not one of the most influential performances of Barcelona star, the Barcelona star, but she still delivered when it was important to keep Spain on the right track to win her first crown of the European championship.
They were also grateful to the goalkeeper Cata Coll for certain vital interventions, including a spectacular double backup to refuse Klara Buhl and Carlotta Wamser at the end of normal time, because Germany was eliminated anxious.
Spain will now face European champions in reigning England Sunday in Basel, in what will be a rehearsal of the decision -maker of the 2023 World Cup, when Roja triumphed 1-0 in Sydney.
If the Montse Tome team becomes in mind, they will become the first nation to hold the world and European titles at the same time from Germany, almost 15 years ago.
Spain had never beat Germany before, and now they are progressing towards their very first final in the euro, with the possibility of consolidating their main strength status in international women’s football.
They should have been the freshest of the two games here, after playing their quarter -final against Swiss hosts one day before Germany took over France in penalties, after playing almost the whole match with 10 players.
Germany also lacked three of their starters from this match, Kathrin Hendrich and Sjoeke Nusken suspended and the right back Sarai Linder injured.
Christian Wuck’s team was undoubtedly the majority of the 22,432 crowd behind them at the Zurich Letzigrund stadium, and they had shepherd in order.
A victory star on France, she made a good stop to keep a Spanish blow Esther Gonzalez – her teammate in Gotham FC in the United States – just before the median point in the first half, switching the ball to a corner.
The Spanish captain Irene Paredes managed against the post from a corner of Claudia Pina, and Gonzalez was again refused by Berger before half time.
It was then Germany’s turn to have the best chances in the second half, but Coll made a crucial Buhl block just after the hour, and the Bayern Munich player also curled up a fair free kick late.
Then came the superb double backup of Coll at the end of the four minutes of the injury allocated, while Barcelona’s goalkeeper held a deflected Buhl shot that bubbed and quickly got up to stop Wamser’s follow -up.
It was perhaps a sign that it would not be the night of Germany. They then saw the defensive Sophia Kleinherne stand out in tears early in an additional time after an upgrade while trying to prevent Salma Paralleluelo from going to goal.
The winner of Spain arrived in the 113rd minute, while Bonmati left a ball from Athenea del Castillo to run her in the region before beating shepherd at the post near the goalkeeper with a tight angle.
It was still time for Coll to exceed again, flying to its left to save from Lea Schuller while Spain was holding.
