2:21pm, 23 July 2025【Football】

When the timer jumped to the 96th minute, the English women's football team was still behind 0-1, and the entire Wembley Stadium fell into silence. Italian players have begun to celebrate with hugs and the girls on the bench hold each other's hands tightly, their fingertips turn white. No one expected that the real drama had just begun.

In the 96th minute, England's last attack rushed to the Italian penalty area like a tide. The ball bounced to the small penalty area line in the chaos army, and Ajiemang rushed out like a cheetah, calmly stabbing his right foot! 1-1! The entire stadium was ignited instantly, Italian goalkeeper Giuliani knelt down dejectedly, and the English girls pressed on Ajman like crazy. Stop time counts down, and one of the most exciting scripts in football history is ongoing.

And the beginning of all this is the leading chapter written by the Italians early on. In the 33rd minute, Cantore made a precise cross from the right and crossed all the defensive players. Bonanseya arrived at the back point and volleyed with his left foot and went straight to the dead corner. Italian players hugged each other to celebrate, while the English girls looked at each other - they controlled the scene but fell behind.

The subsequent match was like torture. Hemp's close shot in the 52nd minute was hugged by Giuliani; Italian core Girelli pulled his thigh and left the field with tears in the 64th minute; England's offense was resolved by the Italian steel defense line again and again. Time passed by minute by minute, and the sentiment of despair began to spread.

Until Ajman's gold goal pulled England back on the cliffside. The smoke of overtime is even stronger. In the 120th minute, Stanway was knocked down in the penalty area and the referee pointed to the penalty spot! Chloe Kelly picked up the ball, took a deep breath, and assisted the ball - shot! Giuliani actually judged the right direction and saved it with one hand!

But Kelly didn't collapse! In the flash of lightning, she rushed towards the popping ball like an arrow, rushing to shoot before everyone! The ball has entered! 2-1! From hell to heaven, Kelly roared on his knees, tears and sweat intertwined. At this moment, she made up for her regrets with her own hands and completed the most shocking self-salvation.

The final whistle sounded, and Wembley became the ocean of carnival of the Three Lions. The English women's football girls hugged each other and cried. They used their steel-like will to interpret the true meaning of football that never gives up. From a 96-minute tie to a life-saving campaign to reverse the lightning shot after losing points in 120 minutes, this soul-stirring victory is destined to be recorded in the history of the European Cup.

They crossed the iron walls built by the Italians, and even crossed the many obstacles in their hearts. The ticket to the final is a reward of blood and tears that last second. When football and will collide with the most dazzling spark, this is the most moving poem on the green field.
