England survived a scare, beating Italy 2-1 in extra time in Tuesday's semifinal to keep their Women's Euro title defense alive. The Lionesses twice came from behind, avoiding near-elimination to advance to another final.

England are one game away from a second successive Euros final. Standing in their way are Italy, who are making their first semifinal appearance since 1997. Both sides reached the final four with dramatic wins in the quarterfinal. England overcame Sweden in a bizarre penalty shootout after finding themselves 2-0 down inside half an hour.
