    They then sent hosts Switzerland out in the quarter-finals, despite missing two penalties.

    Anthenea del Castillo found the back of the net three minutes and 24 seconds after being brought on as a substitute before Claudia Pina added a second with a sublime curling strike.

    The semi-finals brought a tough German backline with both sides goalless after 90 minutes. But two-time Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati turned brilliantly before squeezing her strike past Ann-Katrin Berger in the 113th minute.
