73'

Kim Kulig. Following a corner from the left, England fail to clear and Kim Kulig turns home high into the net after a goal-line scramble

36'
 Casey Stoney delivers a cross from the right which is met by the head of Jill Scott six yards out. The effort is well-directed, but Melanie Behringer nods away from under the bar
24'
Goal scored
Karen Carney. What a start in Helsinki! England are back in it! Good work from Smith sees her get to the byline and she squares the ball across the six yard box where Karen Carney is waiting to half the deficit. Game on!
22'
Goal scored
Melanie Behringer. It's 2-0 to Germany, and what a goal it is. Melanie Behringer picks the ball up in a central position, 25-30 yards from goal. She spots Brown just a few yards off her line and unleashes a brilliantly executed chip which sails into the top corner. 2-0.
19'
Goal scored
Birgit Prinz. Germany have taken the lead and their captain has got the goal. A through ball from midfield finds Inka Grings on the edge of the England box. She squares for the on-coming Prinz who just beats Alex Scott to the ball and side-foots beyond Rachel Brown.
08'
 England are awarded a free-kick 25-yards from goal after Kelly Smith is tripped by Simone Laudehr. Fara Williams strikes the free-kick well, but it just bends wide.
04'
 The two captains collide early on. Birgit Prinz is played into the England box, but a deft touch from White prevents the German from creating any danger.
KO
 England kick-off their first European Championship Final since 1984. Faye White captains the side, wearing a protective mask on her face.
