England 2-2 Sweden (Eng won 3-2 on penalties): Euro 2025 player ratings

England

Hannah Hampton The shootout heroine. Also made vital saves to stop Sweden going 3-0 up, another at 2-2. 9

Lucy Bronze Looked frustrated early on but made a super run and header to score. Great penalty. 7

Leah Williamson Did well to prevent a certain first-half goal. Rallied her team spiritedly as the captain. 6

Jess Carter A torrid night. At fault for the opener and outpaced by Blackstenius for the second. 3

Alex Greenwood Decent display and she did a job at centre-back in extra time when everyone tired. 6

Ella Toone Should have scored at 2-0 but hesitated. Plenty of running, always offering for the ball. 6

Keira Walsh Marked out of the game initially, but got on the ball more to aid England’s fightback. 6

Georgia Stanway Not her fault, but England’s first-half gameplan to play long balls often meant she was her bypassed. 6

Lauren James Great to watch when dribbling with the ball, but was often in very deep positions. 6

Alessia Russo Did not get much service early on, but worked tirelessly. Never let the Swedes rest. 6

Lauren Hemp Hit the bar with a good early effort. Sometimes didn’t get the rub of the green. 6

Substitutes: Esme Morgan (Carter 70) Immediately made England look more composed at the back. 7; Michelle Agyemang (Stanway 70) Caused the chaos England needed in the box and found the leveller 7; Beth Mead (Toone 70) Lively and perhaps deserved to come on sooner 7; Chloe Kelly (Hemp 78) Delivered two lethal crosses to claw England back into the game. A game-changing impact. Vital penalty 8; Grace Clinton (Walsh, 104) 6; Niamh Charles (Williamson, 105) 6

Sweden

Jennifer Falk Calm and assured. Good first-half stop from Hemp and strong saves in the shootout 7

Hanna Lundkvist Stood firm against Lauren Hemp when called upon. A relatively solid performance before being replaced. 6

Nathalie Björn Tracked Russo’s runs well and was strong at dealing with aerial balls into the box. 7

Magdalena Eriksson Produced some important blocks and did well in the air initially, until Kelly-ball was introduced. 7

Jonna Andersson England might wish they had tested her one-on-one with Lauren James more often. 6

Filippa Angeldal A mature performance in the middle that made things very tough for England’s midfield in the first hour. 7

Julia Zigiotti Olme Worked very hard to help stifle England’s creativity for the first 70 minutes. Good display. 7

Johanna Rytting Kaneryd Fired over the bar in the second half. Had some good moments but nothing sensational. 6

Kosovare Asllani Played like she was 25, not 35. Supremely intelligent in the No 10 role. Clinical finish for 1-0. 8

Fridolina Rolfö Dangerous in attack, but was denied by a pivotal Hampton save just before half-time. 6

Stina Blackstenius A threat whenever Sweden broke. Great pace, power and finishing, but denied by Hampton in the second half. Always looked like she had England’s backline worried. 8

Substitutes: Smilla Holmberg (Lundkvist 61) 6; Madelen Janogy (Rolfö 78) 6; Lina Hurtig (Asllani, 78) 6; Amanda Nildén (Andersson, 105) 6; Sofia Jakobsson (Johanna Rytting Kaneryd , 105) 6; Rebecka Blomqvist (Blackstenius, 117) 6
