England Wins Third Place With Late Penalty Kick
England defeated Germany 1 0 in Edmonton to claim third place at the Women's World Cup. Fara Williams scored in the 108th minute after a Sanderson pass was redirected, securing England’s first win in 21 meetings with Germany and their best finish in four World Cups. Germany pressured late but failed to equalize, as Angerer and Neid retirements mark the end of an era.
