Overview
- Defender Kathrin Hendrich was sent off in the 13th minute after a VAR review found her pulling an opponent’s hair, forcing Germany to play with 10 players for more than 100 minutes.
- Grace Geyoro scored France’s opening penalty before Sjoeke Nüskens levelled with a 25th-minute header, and extra time ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger made a goal-line clearance in extra time, saved two shootout penalties and scored one herself to secure a 6-5 victory.
- France had two goals ruled out for offside and saw a second-half penalty saved, prolonging their streak of quarter-final exits without a major title.
- Germany will meet reigning world champions Spain in Zurich but will be without the suspended Hendrich in the semi-final.
