Defending Champions England Defeat Spain On Penalties To Win 2025 Women's Euro
Last Updated: Chloe Kelly's decisive penalty helped England defeat Spain 3-1 in a shootout to win the 2025 Women's Euro, avenging their 2023 World Cup loss. Star England forward Chloe Kelly converted the decisive kick as England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties to win the 2025 Women's Euro after Sunday's final had finished 1-1 at the end of extra time. This win against Spain allowed the Lionesses to avenge their loss in the 2023 World Cup final and retain their continental crown. Spain seemed poised to replicate their win against England in Sydney in 2023, dominating the match at St Jakob-Park in Basel and leading through Mariona Caldentey's first-half header. However, England didn't panic, having already come from behind against Sweden in the quarters and Italy in the semis before bagging wins. Alessia Russo headed in the equaliser just before the hour mark and with no further goals, the game went to a shoot-out. Kelly, who had a significant impact off the bench, netted the winning penalty. It was an agonising defeat for Spain, who couldn't convert three of their spot-kicks, with reigning Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati seeing her effort saved. This win against Spain helps to offset the pain of losing the World Cup final in 2023 and solidifies Wiegman's status among the coaching elite as well. She has now won three successive European Championships, having led her native Netherlands to a win in 2017 before repeating the feat with England. Spain, meanwhile, fell short in their quest to add a maiden European Championship title to the World Cup they won in Australia. La Roja dominated possession as expected, but paid the price for not bagging the victory over an England team that never gives up. Wiegman's side had come from 2-0 down against Sweden in the last eight, scoring twice to force extra time and winning on penalties. Substitute Michelle Agyemang's 96th-minute equaliser denied Italy in the semis in Geneva, with Kelly scoring the winner in extra time. Despite not playing well for much of their run to the final, England's resilience prevailed. Wiegman had gambled on the fitness of Lauren James, which paid off, but not as planned. James, having suffered an ankle injury against Italy, didn't last until half-time and was replaced by Kelly. By that point, Spain were already ahead, scoring when Bonmati and Athenea del Castillo combined to set up Ona Battle, whose cross from the right was headed in by Caldentey. Montse Tome's Spain, featuring seven Barcelona footballers in their starting line-up, had been in control before that and England's best hope seemed to rely on potential complacency from their opponents. An example of this occurred when the match was still goalless, and Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll played a careless short pass to Laia Aleixandri in her area. Lauren Hemp seized the chance, but Coll reacted well to make the save. Even at 1-0, England remained in the match, capitalising on their opportunity in the 57th minute when Kelly crossed from the left for her Arsenal teammate Russo to equalise. England, supported by a majority of fans in the crowd of 34,203, sensed yet another comeback victory over Spain. Coll's fingertips prevented a Kelly effort from finding the far corner midway through the second half. Agyemang then replaced Russo, hoping to play the super-sub role, while Salma Paralluelo was among Spain's substitutes. Paralluelo found herself in promising positions as the match progressed into extra time and the tension-filled penalty shoot-out. Beth Mead's first kick for England was saved after she was forced to retake and skipper Leah Williamson had her effort stopped by Coll as well. However, Alex Greenwood and Niamh Charles both scored, while Patri Guijarro was the only successful taker for Spain before Kelly stepped up to win it.

Monfils upset in Toronto Masters
Gael Monfils missed squandered four match points in blistering heat before exiting in the first round of the ATP Toronto Masters on Sunday, losing 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 to qualifier Tomas Barrios Vera. Monfils upset in Toronto Masters French showman Monfils had his four winning chances in a pair of third-set service games against the Chilean who won his first match at Masters level while ending a seven-match losing streak dating to late February. The pair both struggled in 35 Celsius summer temperatures, with number 142 Barrios Vera winning after nearly three hours on court. Monfils struck a record 15 double-faults, the most ever recorded by the 38-year-old in a best-of-three match. Barrios Vera moved into a second-round match against American Alex Michelsen. "I don't know how I saved so many match points," the 27-year-old winner said. "It was super-close, super-tight. "I tried to fight for every point, tried to serve well. "This victory is very important for my confidence playing this type of event." Monfils, who also lost in the Canadian first round a year ago, rallied from a set and a break down as he competed for the 14th time in Canada but was unable to get over the line for victory. He broke the Chilean twice in the second set to level the match but came undone in the third. The 2016 and 2019 semi-finalist, struggling with the heat as early as the third game of the afternoon, got back into contention as Barrios Vera double-faulted and lost his second-set momentum. The Frenchman leaned heavily on his racquet between points as he looked to be struggling with his fitness as he tried in vain to close out the win. He ended with 30 winners and 47 unforced errors while Barrios Vera had nearly 60 unforced errors in victory. Elsewhere on opening day Reilly Opelka of the United States defeated Austrian Stefan Ofner 7-6 , 7-5 while France's Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard advanced past Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki 6-4, 6-2. Learner Tien beat American compatriot Colton Smith 6-4, 7-5. The Masters field is missing four of the ranking top 10, including No. 1 Jannik Sinner and second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz, both due to various injuries. The event - now controversially expanded to just under a fortnight - began two weeks after the Wimbledon final won by Sinner over Alcaraz. Third-ranked Alexander Zverev takes the top seeding, with the German struggling recently with both his tennis and his mental health following a Wimbledon first-round loss. str/rcw This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
