The moment came despite the Germans taking an early lead through Jule Brand, who was assisted by Wamser.

It then went from bad to worse for Christian Wück's side after Wamser, 21, conceded the penalty.
The defender palmed the ball away with a Luis Suarez-style save after a goal-bound shot from Blackstenius.

England are through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2025, where they will face for Wales, their 6-1 defeat means they are now out of the tournament, after also losing against France and the Netherlands during the group stages.

Beth Mead lauds ‘unbelievable' Ella Toone as England reach Euro 2025 quarters

England forward Beth Mead heaped praise on 'unbelievable' team-mate Ella Toone after she helped propel the defending champions into the Euro 2025 quarter-finals with a goal and two assists in their 6-1 victory over Wales in St Gallen. Georgia Stanway opened the scoring with a 13th-minute penalty before Toone found the top corner and then turned provider for Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo, who sent England into the break with a four-goal lead. Mead and Aggie Beever-Jones both got on the scoresheet in the second half, while Wales' consolation came from substitute Hannah Cain, a welcome parting gift for the passionate support who had travelled to Switzerland for their first major tournament. 'I think she was unbelievable,' said Mead, who also provided the assist for Beever-Jones. 'I think Tooney is really coming into her own and sometimes in, you know, situations where you feel a little bit low, it brings you to the top of your game and I have completely felt that and done that before, been in a tough place and come back and I think you can see that she's given that kind of aura, that type of energy and she deserves everything she's getting right now because she has worked really hard for it.' Mead and Toone have both lost parents since England lifted their first major trophy at their home Euros in 2022. Mead's mother, June, died from ovarian cancer in January 2023, while Toone lost her father, Nick, to prostate cancer last September. Toone pointed to the sky after scoring on Sunday night. Mead added: 'I think we've both said the first game we really struggled a little bit, you know you look to the stands for your person who is standing there and they're not there anymore. 'I think my mum was the first person I would look for in the stands. So I obviously understand what Ella felt in that moment. And it's special to be able to have that moment and think about them and dedicate to them.' England bounced back from a tournament-opening defeat to France to beat the Netherlands 4-0, but still finished runners-up in Group D after France claimed top spot with a 5-2 victory over the Dutch. 🏆 The final eight are locked in 🔐 #WEURO2025 — UEFA Women's EURO 2025 (@WEURO2025) July 13, 2025 That means England will return to Zurich's familiar Stadion Letzigrund on Thursday night, where they will face Sweden. 'I mean, it doesn't seem like it at the time, but (the France loss) was probably was the best thing that could have happened to us as a team,' added Mead. 'I think it motivated us. 'We had conversations, we figured things out that we maybe needed to. And I think, you don't win or lose a tournament in the first game. I think it's cliché to say it, but you don't and we're now in a position where we're building quite nicely and hopefully we can continue that momentum now we're into the quarter-finals.' England boss Sarina Wiegman agreed it looked like her side were enjoying themselves, adding: 'That's what it looks like! 'Really good. Six goals, I think what we wanted to do was dictate the game, and that is what we did, so that's really good to see, and the most important thing is that we are through, and out of this very hard group.'

Monday's briefing: Chelsea surprise Paris St Germain as Lionesses move forward

It proved a successful evening too for England's women as they booked their place in the Euro 2025 quarter-finals with a 6-1 rout of Wales, who are heading home as a result. Elsewhere, there were emotional tributes to Diogo Jota ahead of Liverpool's friendly victory at Preston. Palmer gives PSG the Blues Cole Palmer scored twice as Chelsea beat Paris St Germain 3-0 in the Club World Cup final (Seth Wenig/AP) Cole Palmer hit back at the critics who had been giving Chelsea 's***' after firing them to Club World Cup glory in New York. Palmer, who was presented with the Man of the Match award by President Donald Trump, scored the first two goals and set up the third in a surprise 3-0 final victory over Champions League winners Paris St Germain at the MetLife Stadium as Enzo Maresca's men capped an encouraging season in style. Asked how excited he was by the team Maresca is building at Stamford Bridge, the England international told DAZN: 'He's building something special, something important with a young team. Everyone's talked a lot of s*** about us all season, but I feel like we're going in the right direction.' Reflecting on the game, Palmer added: 'Obviously it's a great feeling, even better because everyone doubted us before the game. We knew that and to go out there and put a fight on like we did against a great team, yes, it's good.'

Beth Mead scored a fifth after the restart before Hannah Cain clawed one back with Wales' second-ever goal in a major tournament, but substitute Aggie Beever-Jones completed the scoring for an assured England, who will now face Sweden in Zurich on Thursday. Liverpool and Preston pay tribute to Diogo Jota Liverpool fans paid tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva during the club's pre-season friendly at Preston (Martin Rickett/PA) For seven minutes after the final whistle, Liverpool players and staff stood in front of their supporters at Preston as they chanted Diogo Jota's name. Sunday's pre-season friendly at Deepdale was originally envisaged as a day to kick-start preparations for Liverpool's Premier League title defence, but it played out as a memorial service for Jota and his brother Andre Silva, 10 days after they died in a car accident in Spain. On the pitch Liverpool eased to a 3-1 win through goals from Conor Bradley, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, but thoughts of Jota and Silva remained at the forefront throughout the day. As Claudia Rose Maguire, wife of former Preston player Sean, sang Liverpool anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before kick-off, Preston captain Ben Whiteman walked the length of the pitch to lay a wreath in front of the visiting fans with the Bill Shankly Kop dominated by banners and scarves bearing Jota's name.
