Women's Euro 2022: England beats Spain 2-1 in a dramatic extra-time performance
CNN
Trailing Spain 1-0 with six minutes of regular time left, England seemed to be exiting its home Women's Euro until Ella Toone knocked home an equalizer that lifted a raucous, record crowd of 28,994 spectators inside the Brighton and Hove Community Stadium to their feet and dragged the quarterfinal to extra time.
Then, six minutes into the first extra period, Georgia Stanway was given an inch of space by the Spanish defense and fired the Lionesses into the semifinals with a sensational strike that sealed a 2-1 victory.
"That's the shift from group mentality to knockouts. We've proved we're resilient and can overcome tests," England's captain Leah Williamson told the BBC.
