Chelsea’s Sjoeke Nusken became the latest player at Women’s Euro 2025 to fail to score a penalty as 10-player Germany spurned the chance to take the lead against France in a quarter-final that went to extra time in Basel.

Two-time Women’s Super League champion Nusken, who had headed her side’s first-half equaliser 10 minutes after team-mate Kathrin Hendrich was sent off for a hair pull, sent her 69th-minute penalty to Pauline Peyraud-Magnin’s right as the goalkeeper dived in the correct direction to paw the effort away and ensure the score remained 1-1.

“Wow,” said former Leeds United forward Lucy Ward on ITV Sport. “This game has had absolutely everything, including a goalkeeper stepping up and guessing right. It was quite a nice height.”

Germany vs France: Women’s Euro 2025 penalties jinx goes on

Vastly experienced defender Hendrich received a red card in the 13th minute for pulling France captain Griedge Mbock Bathy’s hair inside the box.

Grace Geyoro converted the ensuing spot kick but Nusken headed in from Klara Buhl’s corner to draw the eight-time champions level.

Nusken became the 14th player to miss a spot kick at the finals, including England’s last-eight shootout victory over Sweden, in which nine went awry.

Germany vs France: Women’s Euro teams, lineups

Germany coach Christian Wuck’s changes included the introduction of 20-year-old Bayern Munich player Franziska Kett, who is more used to playing as a left-winger, at left-back on her Women’s Euro debut in place of the suspended Carlotta Wamser.

Giulia Gwinn was out injured, while Leipzig’s Giovanna Hoffmann surprisingly replaced Bayern’s Lea Schuller – a scorer in both of her country’s first two games at the finals – in attack.

France coach Laurent Bonadei started Mbock Bathy alongside Maelle Lakrar at centre-back, with Kadidiatou Diani on the left.

The winners will play Spain in Zurich in the semi-finals on Wednesday (20:00 BST).
