EXTRA TIME HALF-TIME: England 2-2 Sweden
105+3 mins: Rytting Kaneryd floats in a lovely cross but it’s cleared. Sweden have some momentum.
James is not moving particularly fluidly, but she is at least up and moving.
Bjorn tries to send in a cross and Hampton punches it but not far enough… Clinton gets in a tangle trying to clear and that’s a very risky challenge from her.
Half-time now and still none the wiser as to who is going through.

England 2-2 Sweden
105 mins: Walsh is replaced by Clinton.
Hurtig wins a header and England are playing with fire, with plenty of Sweden shirts in the box, but it’s eventually cleared!
James is on the deck having caught her angle in between Hurtig’s feet, the Sweden player winning the ball.
Two minutes added on to this half of extra time, much of these two minutes being taken up with James receiving some attention.

England 2-2 Sweden
102 mins: Chaos in the Sweden box again as a corner delivery pinballs around, eventually making its way out. Greenwood thumps in a good ball but Bjorn does well to make the clearance, colliding with Williamson, and the England captain is down having rolled her angle. Kelly signals for some assistance.
Sweden have a team talk while Williamson is seen to.

England 2-2 Sweden
99 mins: Dicey moments as England concede a corner and then a free-kick. Bjorn heads Angeldahl’s delivery a smidgeon wide of the post.
Blackstenius crosses in, hoping to find Janogy, but Williamson gets a defensive header to it. Brighter from Sweden now.

SAVE! England 2-2 Sweden
97 mins: Kelly crosses in from the left but it doesn’t quite fall for Russo, instead picked up by James, who is now given a wide berth by the Sweden shirts. The move ultimately comes to nothing.
Angeldahl floats in a strike and Hampton leaps up to save, looked like it was going wide anyway, but good keeping. Agyemang gets a nick on Angeldahl and needs to be careful; she’s on a yellow.

England 2-2 Sweden

Bronze makes the crucial interception on Janogy down the left as Sweden build an attack.
England win a free-kick as Sweden are penalised for handball, deep in England’s half.

Who is Michelle Agyemang? England striker who just equalised against Sweden in Euros quarter-final
Your reading ahead of extra time….
Michelle Agyemang knows how to make an impression. Leah Williamson still remembers the first time she saw the 19-year-old join in with the senior team at Arsenal, and perhaps even has the bruise to prove it. “She come and flattened me,” Williamson says. “I was too slow on it and I think I gave her a bit of stick about it, but in my head I thought: ‘You need to move the ball quicker, because she’s got something about her’.”
England’s captain was left similarly impressed as she discusses Agyemeng’s impact at another training session a few years later, this time at St George’s Park before the Lionesses head to Euro 2025.
“I was screaming for a pass and she put it top bins, and I thought: ‘I ain’t going to say nothing’,” Williamson says. “So my first impression was she let me know she was there, which I love. As a young player coming through, you can do all the fancy flicks and tricks you want, but somebody needs to know about you, and you need to tell people that you’re there, and that’s what she does.”
