The European champions, who had a player sent off in regulation time, won the penalty shootout 4-2 following a 0-0 draw
in a last-16 penalty shootout on Monday with Chloe Kelly scoring the decisive spot-kick, following a 0-0 draw over 120 nerve-jangling minutes.
“This team is special, we did it in the Euros, we did it in the Finalissima , and we’re here again tonight and doing it,” added Kelly, who scored the winner in the Euro 2022 final against Germany. “And we keep pushing forward. There’s more to come from this special team.” Coach Sarina Wiegman said the 21-year-old James lost her emotion in “a split second … it’s not something she really did on purpose. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone.”
“I don’t even practice a shootout to be honest,” Earps said. “It’s a very special moment, a very special pressure-cooker.”
