The Germans beat France with one of the most impressive displays you will see from a side reduced to 10 players for most of a game

Germany reached the semifinals of the Women's Euro 2025 the hard way. Forced to play 10-vs.-11 for most of the match due to an early red card, the Germans beat France in a shootout to advance out of the quarterfinals. It was the first time in tournament history a team won a game after falling behind with 10 players.

Ann-Katrin Berger, not for the first time, was the penalty shoot-out hero as ten-player Germany set up a semi-final with Spain.

Germany advance despite playing nearly the entire game down a woman after Kathrin Hendrich was sent off in the 13th minute

Germany needed goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger at her best vs. France and they'll need her again if they are to beat Spain.

A Women’s European Championship quarterfinal saw Germany’s Kathrin Hendrich sent off for pulling an opponent’s hair.

In terms of challenges that two-time cancer survivor Ann-Katrin Berger has overcome, making a string of saves in Germany’s Euro 2025 quarterfinal victory over France on Saturday night is relatively low down on the list.
