The secrets of the penalty shootout in the Euro Final: Hampton’s arm and Kelly skill
The moment of the coronation of England in the European Nations Championship for Women 2025 was only an epic peak of exceptional drama that was repeated twice in the tournament. As was the case in the quarter -finals against Sweden, the final match against world champions Spain was settled on penalties, but this time a double championship: a smart goalkeeper, and an attack that does not know mercy. It is an iron nerve story, an unfamiliar tactical plans, and a magic end that was as usual as Klui Kelly was customary, according to the British newspaper “Telegraph”.
Hampton arm: secret notes on the skin
At a time when everyone was wondering who would pay the kicks after leaving a number of basic pitch paid, the goalkeeper Hanna Hampton was preparing her own weapon. Instead of the traditional method using a bottle of notes filled with notes – as the Jordan Beckford did previously – Hampton chose a safer and intelligent solution: paste the Spain’s datab data menu from the inside on its arm, using a special adhesive under the how much her shirt that was cut off before the penalty shootout with the help of a crew.
The result? They are amazingly against the two best players in the world: the first was Mariana Calinte, and the second Aitana Bunmati, winner of the Golden Ball Award twice. This was not just a reading reading, but rather an accurate implementation of a stamp plan.
Beth MID’s kick chaos: double blow and technical violation
But the drama did not stop at Hampton’s repetitions. Veteran attack, Beth Meed, added a new chapter in the controversial laws when she was forced to re -pay its kick after it slipped during implementation, which led to the touch of the ball twice, even though the ball entered the goal. According to a modern update in the European Union laws based on the incident of Julian Alvarez in the Champions League for men, Mid was allowed to implement, but this time, Spain has temporarily gave the advantage.
The momentum swings and decisive conflicts
After Mid’s wasted kick, Spain looked closer to the title when Patri Gigharo scored her with confidence in the corner. But Alex Greenwood re -balanced with a wonderful left -wing shot in the lower right corner. After that, Hampton’s role came to impose herself again, brilliantly confronted Calinte’s shot, then the scene was repeated with Bunmati, while Namel Charles fired a decisive and fast decisive kick in the corner.
As for the leader Leah Williamson, she was afraid of the nerves, and fired a weak kick, which was easily taken by the guard. But the Spanish Salma Barawoyo was more confused than it, so the ball was sent out of the goal completely, to change the scales of the match again for England.
Chloe Kelly: A new date with glory
When it was time to decide, Chloe Kelly advanced. There was no doubt. She said later, “I was calm, and I knew that I would enter the ball,” she said later. I did. With its usual style: lift the left knee and then a small jump before the shot, but this time the ball was more powerful, the top corner of the goal was in mercy.
Kelly first celebrated calmly, and then unleashed her joy. The English gold girl who finished the drama in Euro 2022, then gave victory in the quarter -finals this year, came again to write the last chapter in the English achievement story.
Conclusion: Steel nerves and ideas outside the box
The Euro 2025 final ended as it started – suddenly, full of fluctuations, full of tales. From Lucy Bronz’s hidden fracture in the leg, to Hampton’s innovation in collecting information, to Kelly’s golden moment. This victory was not only a sporting culmination, but a lesson in courage, creativity and spirit that does not know refraction.
