England (4-2-3-1) Mary Earps Big stop on the line to deny Hegering in the first half. Brave goalkeeping that exuded confidence. 8 Lucy Bronze One-woman wall to deny Däbritz early on. Integral in her link-up with Mead down the right. Tested Frohms. 8 Millie Bright Early tackle on Däbritz set the stall. Strong aerially but caught by Magull’s run for the equaliser. 7 Leah Williamson Calm leadership at the back. Fewer forward runs than usual but put her body on the line when it mattered. 7 Rachel Daly Lost out early on to Huth, who caused her problems. Generally steady but tired. 6 Keira Walsh Little space to operate in but brilliant in possession. Sublime assist to spot the run of Toone for England’s goal. Player of the match – 9 Georgia Stanway Early innocuous booking put her on thin ice. Unable to have her usual combative presence in the middle. 6 Fran Kirby Did not have much of the ball but utilised it well when she did. Frustrated by German fouls. 6 Beth Mead Strong outlet finding the spaces down the right. Gave Rauch a test. Withdrew injured in the second half. 7 Ellen White Physical presence and energy never petered. Will have expected to do better with an early chance. 7 Lauren Hemp Showed pace to provide outlet down England’s left. Never gave up. Provided the delivery for the winner. 7 Substitutes Ella Toone (for Kirby 56) Gave England the lead with a perfectly stuck lifted finish over Frohms. Dogged after coming on. 8 Chloe Kelly (for Mead 64) Added energy. Stuck with the ball all the way to poke home the winner in extra time. 7 Alessia Russo (for White 56) 7; Alex Greenwood (for Daly 88) 6; Jill Scott (for Stanway 89) 6; Nikita Parris (Hemp 119) 6. Germany (4-3-3) Advertisement Merle Frohms Strong stop to deny White early on. Alert on the goal line throughout. Couldn’t do anything about Toone’s goal. 7 Giulia Gwinn Came into the match in the second half with her surging runs forward from right-back. 7 Kathrin Hendrich Dealt well with White and then Russo in the air. Showed her strength in marshalling the back line. 7 Marina Hegering Early chance to take the lead. Physical presence in the back line and confidence in possession. 7 Felicitas Rauch Struggled to track the run of Mead. Booked in the first half. Deliveries good from set-pieces. 6 Sara Däbritz Full of running with a presence in all areas. Well-struck effort kept out by Bronze early on. 8 Lena Oberdorf Calm and controlled in the middle. The 20-year-old displayed why she is one of the players of the tournament. 8 Lina Magull Quiet first period by her usual standards but came alive in the second. High-quality finish to equalise. Germany’s player of the match – 8 Svenja Huth Her typical busy self in Germany’s front line. Up for the challenge and the instigator of many attacks. 8 Lea Schüller Late call-up because of Alexandra Popp’s injury in the warm-up and could not make an impact up front. 6 Jule Brand Quiet game in the forward line. Struggled to find her feet. Substituted at half-time. 6 Substitutes Tabea Wassmuth (for Brand 45) 7; Nicole Anyomi (for Schuller 67) 7; Sydney Lohmann (for Dabritz 73) 6; Linda Dallmann (for Magull 90) 6; Sara Doorsoun (for Hegering 103) 6; Lena Lattwein (for Rauch 113) 6.
