Timeline
- July 27, 2025: England and Spain drew 1–1 after 120 minutes in Basel.
- Penalty shootout: England prevailed 3–1, and Chloe Kelly scored the winning kick.
England defeated Spain 3–1 in the penalty shootout of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final after the match ended 1–1 following extra time. Spain had led through Mariona Caldentey before Alessia Russo equalized. The drawn match score and the shootout score are recorded separately. [1][2]
Cata Coll gave Spain the first advantage by saving Beth Mead’s attempt. After each side converted once, England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton saved Mariona Caldentey’s penalty. Substitute Niamh Charles then converted to put England ahead in the sequence. [1]
The next phase produced three misses: Hampton saved Aitana Bonmatí’s kick, Coll denied Leah Williamson, and Salma Paralluelo pulled Spain’s attempt wide. Those outcomes left England in position to clinch the trophy with its next successful penalty rather than requiring all five scheduled kicks. [1]
Chloe Kelly took the decisive attempt and scored, completing England’s 3–1 shootout victory. A shootout ends early when the trailing team can no longer equal the leader with its remaining kicks. The official sequence therefore did not require every player in a five-kick list to take an attempt. [1][2]
Hampton was named Player of the Match. UEFA’s technical observers highlighted her two shootout saves along with her passing and shot-stopping during regular and extra time. A goalkeeper save and a penalty sent wide are different events: Hampton stopped Mariona and Bonmatí, while Paralluelo missed the target. [1]
The final was the first Women’s EURO championship match decided on penalties since 1984. England’s earlier 2025 quarter-final against Sweden had also gone to a shootout, but it was a separate match with a different sequence and result. This guide concerns only the final against Spain. [1][2]
England’s victory made the team a two-time European champion after its 2022 title. It did not change the official score to 4–2 or add the shootout kicks to the goals scored during play. Match records correctly show England 1–1 Spain after extra time, England winning 3–1 on penalties. [1][2]
