Spain started the game better and opened the scoring in the 25th minute thanks to a dangerous header from Mariona Caldentey.
However, England did not take long to respond. After the break, the white team rose strongly and was rewarded with a 1-1 equalizer in the 57th minute thanks to Alessia Russo.
The tug of war lasted until the end of extra time without either side scoring any more goals. For the first time in more than 40 years, a women's EURO final has had to determine the winner and loser by a penalty shootout.
In the series of brain-weighing "shooting fights", the champion's bravery was shown at the right time. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton shined when successfully blocking 2 shots from Spain, contributing greatly to England's 3-1 victory and the second consecutive European championship.
After the match, Hampton was voted UEFA's "Best Player of the Match". Coach Sarina Wiegman could not hide his emotions when praising the brave fighting spirit of his students, especially defender Lucy Bronze - who played fully despite a tibia injury.
This championship not only helps England make history when they first won EURO away, but also affirms the superior strength of women's football in the foggy country.
Meanwhile, despite the failure, Spain still had a commendable tournament with the title of "Best Player of the tournament" for Aitana Bonmati and "Golabreaker" for Esther Gonzalez.
