Summary at a Glance

Reflecting on the game, Wiegman told ITV: “Of course I’d hope to come away with more, I think we played a very good first half, I think we could have got some more goals, that would have helped.

Leah Williamson made a great intervention to deny Nazareth moments later before coming close herself in stoppage time when her header was caught by Ines Pereira and Wiegman believes England managed to organise themselves better in the latter stages.

“Then when they started to push, we hoped to keep the ball better, what we did the last part of the second half – we want to do that better next time.”.

A bright start to the Lionesses’ opening Group A3 match saw them come close through Lauren James and Ella Toone before Alessia Russo put them ahead in the 15th minute.

Asked if England’s low scoring games are a concern with Euro 2025 on the horizon, Wiegman replied: “I’m not thinking about that, I’m just thinking about next Wednesday.
