England stages dramatic comeback to force extra time against Sweden in Euro
2025 quarterfinals

ZURICH (AP) --- Defending champion England staged a remarkable late recovery
from two goals down to take its quarterfinal against Sweden to extra time on
Thursday at the Women's European Championship.
England had been trailing almost from the start after Kosovare Asllani fired
Sweden in front with less than two minutes on the clock and Stina Blackstenius
doubled Sweden's lead in the 25th.
With 12 minutes remaining, England looked set to be heading for an early exit.
It would have been the first time the Lionesses had failed to reach the
semifinals of a major tournament since 2013.
However, substitute Chloe Kelly had an immediate impact with two wonderful
crosses leading to two goals in the space of two minutes --- from Lucy Bronze
and teenage substitute Michelle Agyemang.
The winner will face Italy in the semifinal in Geneva on Tuesday.
