Summary at a Glance

England won a free-kick from a dangerous position on the left when Irene Paredes brought down Niamh Charles on the edge of the area and Lauren James finally gave Spain keeper Cata Coll something to do when her curling effort brought a save at the near post.

James then had another chance, this time from a brilliant long ball from Bright deep inside England’s half and forced Coll into another save from a tight angle.

England briefly enjoyed a spell deep inside Spain’s half before the visitors won another corner and Garcia – who had Hampton beaten – clipped the crossbar.

Wiegman made a double change in the 64th minute, bringing on Chloe Kelly – earning her 50th England cap – and Nikita Parris, who was making her first England appearance since November 2022.

Hampton was called into action again shortly after the restart, sticking out a leg to block Garcia’s shot, before England broke back and Grace Clinton’s effort was saved by Coll.
