'We'll remember this forever': England fans jubilant as their heroes win again
@Source: bbc.com
"Brilliant," is one word that nearly every single England fan I speak to utters as I call out to them outside the stadium. Many look dazed.
Lina, who is Swiss, is clearly having a moment when I approach her.
"It [the game] was exceptional," she says, putting her hands in front of her face.
"I'm freaking out."
Lina tells me she is a new England fan - she first saw edits of the team's captain Leah Williamson on social media and got into women's football that way.
"It's the first women's match I've been to and it was really, really spectacular.
"We were right next to the pitch."
As has become the norm in this tournament for the Lionesses, they left it until the very last moment to send their supporters into a frenzy of jubilation.
Spain took the lead in the first half, but an Alessia Russo goal in the 57th minute levelled things, and took the game into extra time. With no change to the scoreline coming, it was on to those greatest of nail-biters - penalties.
