England beat Spain in a penalty shootout to retain its title in the 2025 Women's European Championship final. The teams finished extra time tied 1-1, then England edged ahead 3-1 on penalty kicks.

The Lionesses are the first team to have three different matches go to extra time in a single edition of either the women's World Cup or European Championship. Remarkably, they triumphed at Euro 2025 despite leading for just four minutes and 52 seconds in the entire knockout stages of the tournament - including stoppage time.
