England beat Germany 2-1 in the final of the European Championship after extra time on Sunday to win its first major women's soccer title.
The game had finished 1-1 after 90 minutes at Wembley Stadium with Lina Magull for Germany canceling out Ella Toone's goal for England.
The tournament-record crowd of more than 87,000 underlined the growth of women's soccer in Europe since the last time England and Germany played for a continental title 13 years ago. That has meant increasing competition for Germany, which was a pioneering nation in European women's soccer and increasingly faces well-funded rivals in England, Spain and France.
Toone's goal, six minutes after she entered the game from the bench, sparked celebrations as England manager Sarina Wiegman — the winning coach with the Netherlands in 2017 — raised both arms in joy.
