England trailed by two and were all but eliminated by halftime, but battled back into the tie with two quickfire goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang to force extra time. An incomprehensible penalty shootout followed a goalless extra half-hour,

Mead came on for Toone and went to the right wing, James dropped into a floating midfield role while Michelle Agyemang joined Russo up top. Kelly came on for Hemp on the left wing on 78 minutes. So England had two wingers, two strikers and James.

After a dramatic game in Zurich, England have managed to keep the dream of defending their European Championships title alive, after beating Sweden 3-2 on penalties.
