BASEL, Switzerland — Germany overcame France on penalties and reached the semifinals of the Women’s European Championship despite playing almost the entire match — and extra time — with 10 players.

Germany advance in Euro 2025 and France crash out again after a wild game with a red card, multiple big VAR calls, extra time and PK shootout.

Germany's Kathrin Hendrich was sent off after yanking the ponytail of France captain Griedge Mbock in the Euro quarterfinals.
