Summary: England's women's team defeats Sweden 0:4 and qualifies for the Euro finals (Sport1)

A year after the men's team failed to "bring the trophy home" and lost in front of the home crowd in the European Championship final, the England women's team is now just one game away from making amends.

England qualified for the Women's Euro final tonight (Tuesday) which they are hosting after a tremendous display at the stadium in Sheffield and a huge 0:4 over Sweden.

After sailing through the group stage with three wins and a goal difference of 0:14, the English needed extra time in the quarter-finals to eliminate Spain, but in the semi-finals they returned to the ability they displayed at home.

First to get on the scoreboard was Beth Mead, who with a strong kick to the far corner made it 0:1 in the 34th minute.

Three minutes from the start of the second half, Mead added an assist and Lucy Bronze hit the net to make it 0:2.

Serena Weigman's team closed the story in the 68th minute, when Alessia Russo delivered a particularly elegant performance and with a heel kick that went between the legs of goalkeeper Hedwig Lindahl scored the third.

The fourth goal and sealed the result of the game came in the 77th minute, when Fran Kirby tried to bounce over Lindahl.

The goalkeeper touched the ball with her fingertips, but the ball slipped through her hands and entered the net.

Like the men's team, England's women's team has also never been crowned European champions, and Sunday's final, where they will meet the winner of the other semi-final between Germany and France (Wednesday, 10:00 p.m. on Sport4), will be the third in their history after losing the final in 1984 and 2009 .

The final match will be held at Wembley Stadium.
