Germany’s Ann-Katrin Berger was the hero on Saturday, making crucial saves in a tense 6-5 penalty shootout win over France, following a hard-fought 1-1 draw in regular time.
Berger, alongside teammate Linda Dallmann, celebrated what became a historic victory after Germany became the first team in Women’s Euro history to win a match despite going down to 10 players — a result of Kathrin Hendrich’s 13th-minute red card.
England’s comeback victory over Sweden also captivated fans, with the Lionesses erasing a 2-0 deficit before triumphing in a dramatic penalty shootout.
