BASEL, Switzerland: Gritty Germany reached the Women’s Euro 2025 semifinals on Saturday after prevailing 6-5 in a penalty shootout against France after playing with 10 women for almost all of a gruelling match which finished 1-1 after extra time. Ann-Katrin Berger was the hero by saving Amel Majri and Alice Sombath’s penalties to secure a last-four clash with Spain to Germany, who will take on the world champions in Zurich on Wednesday.

While Abou Ali wants to leave the Red Devils, no interested club has matched the reported selling price of $12 million (EUR10.3 mn) set by the record 12-time African champions. Ribeiro is among three nominees for the footballer of the season and players’ player of the season awards in South Africa, with the winners to be named on July 29. His rivals in both categories are two other forward, Relebohile Mofokeng of Orlando Pirates and Keletso Makgalwa from Sekhukhune United.
