For the first time she has won a major tournament (World Cup or Euro Cup) in women’s football. England defeated Germany 2-1 in a thrilling match. Ila Toni and Chloe Kelly victories gave the English team victory.
Ella Tony scored in the 62nd minute to put England 1-0 ahead in the match. It looked like the hosts would win the match easily, but in the 79th minute, Germany’s Lina Magul scored a goal to silence the Wembley Stadium. The England team was surprised. The match went into extra time. There, in the 110th minute, Clay Kelly did wonders. Taking advantage of Germany’s defender’s mistake, he put the ball into the goalpost. England took a 2-1 lead in the match.
Clay Kelly plays for Manchester City in club football. He celebrated the goal like Sergio Aguero of Argentina, the great Manchester City player. Aguero made the team champions in the English Premier League in 2012 with a goal against QPR. He took off his jersey after scoring a goal. Aguero ran into the field waving his jersey. That moment was brought back to life by Clay Kelly. Kelly also took off the jersey after scoring a goal. Waving him in the air, he also ran a long race. This video and photo of him went viral on social media.
Callie’s style of celebration wasn’t just Aguero’s. In the final of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, America’s Brandi Chastain also celebrated by taking off the jersey against China.
Fate did not favor Germany. Captain and highest goalscorer Alexandra Pop did not play in this match due to a hamstring strain. The team missed him. At the same time, luck was with England this time. Last year the men’s team lost against Italy in the final of the Euro Cup.
Finally England’s wait of 56 years came to an end and they got a win in a major tournament. Earlier in 1966, England’s men’s team won the World Cup.
