Alexandra Popp’s Brace Leads Germany Past France (2-1) Into Women’s EURO Final Against England

The UEFA Women’s European final is set! Germany will take on the hosts from England after topping France in a thriller on Wednesday (2-1). Germany’s Alexandra Popp struck a one-timer for the game’s opening goal (40’), but France answered with a shot off the post that ricocheted off the back of goalkeeper Merle Frohms for an own goal (44’). With the match tied through the second half, Popp found the equalizer on a ferocious header (76’) to give Germany the win. Neither Germany (2001) or England (2005) have won the EUROs since the early 2000s, but that streak will end one way or another on Sunday.
