<p>The Swedes <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-sarina-wiegman-winners-losers-lionesses-sweden-chloe-kelly-michelle-agyemang-euro-2025/blt5f540fc19d5e3dea" target="_blank">had Sarina Wiegman’s defending European champions on the ropes</a> for much of their quarter-final encounter. The Lionesses battled back from two goals down to send an epic encounter all the way to a shootout.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Tired <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bursting-for-wee-chloe-kelly-reveals-how-dealt-nerves-england-penalty-shootout-lionesses-sweden-euro-2025/bltb11e9ecebce65191" target="_blank">legs and minds began to unravel at that stage</a>, with nine efforts from 12 yards being missed in total before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-women-player-ratings-sweden-hannah-hampton-lucy-bronze-penalty-shootout-lionesses-euro-2025/blt9c5d391fe0654e09" target="_blank">England squeezed through 3-2</a>. Falk, who saved three spot-kicks, had the chance to send Sweden into the last four with their fifth penalty.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/awful-watch-leah-williamson-lionesses-practiced-penalties-science-england-shootout-win-sweden-euro-2025/blt31e8e6a838898ace" target="_blank">missing the target and firing over</a> the crossbar, Falk told <a href="https://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/landslaget/sverige-ute-ur-em/ " target="_blank"><em>Expressen</em></a>: "Peter [Gerhardsson, Sweden manager] asked if I could do it and then I said ‘yes’. I just thought I would take a few deep breaths and put it to the left, which I didn't do. It was f*cking crap and then it was just about focusing on saving the next penalty."</p>

WHAT FALK SAID

<p>Gerhardsson said of determining which members of his squad would step up the spot, with it impossible to replicate that pressure in training: "We had a meeting and the players asked us to make a list: from one to eleven. But of course these are incredibly difficult decisions."</p>
