King’s Undergraduate student Michelle Agyemang scored the crucial equalising goal in England’s Euro Semi-final match against Italy last night (22 July). England will now participate in the Women’s Euro Final this Sunday evening (27 July).
Agyemang has had a remarkable tournament so far, despite making only three appearances and starting zero games.
The Business Management student made her presence known in England’s quarter-final tie with Sweden, scoring the equalising goal in the 81st minute, only 11 minutes after she was substituted on.
In the semi-final against Italy, she took centre stage. It felt as though England’s chances were completely over, after trailing 1-0 down for 95 minutes. Yet in the last minute of the game Agyemang scored to send the match to extra time.
A long cross from Lauren Hemp hit the Italian keeper but Agyemang was quick on the rebound, scoring her third senior goal for England.
In her post-match interview, Agyemang reflected on her journey that earned her late-England call-up to ITV Sport: “Everything happens for a reason and I am so grateful to God that I’m here.”
Her journey has been incredible, having been a ballgirl at Wembley for England manager Sabrina Wiegman’s first match, only four years ago.
The Women’s Euro final takes place in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday 27 June.
