But not until the final whistle. In the sixth minute of stoppage time, English shooting star Michelle Agyemang scored the 1-1 equalizer. The match went into extra time.

And here, the Italians should receive the second blow shortly before the end. After a foul by Emma Severini, referee Ivana Martincic pointed to the spot - penalty for England. Chloe Kelly stepped up for the Lionesses and scored on the rebound, after Laura Giuliani was able to parry her penalty kick.
