Germany will face England in the final of Euro 2022 after Alexandra Popp's double saw them edge France 2-1 at Stadium MK. It was impossible to pick a favourite ahead of the match as both teams had looked unstoppable in their previous outings.

The advantage was to be short-lived as Kadidiatou Diani looked to have scored a screamer. She deserved full credit, though it went down as an own goal as Germany goalkeeper Merle Frohms had the final touch.

The second half was a more frantic affair with both sides enjoying periods of pressure. Both had chances, but it was Popp again, who found the net with a wonderfully executed header to score her sixth of the tournament, moving her level with England's Beth Mead as joint-top scorer.
