Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between China and England is underway.
  • 4' What a strike from Alessia Russo! The score is 0-1.
  • 9' England started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 9.
  • 14' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering England that had 13 games and scored 28 goals.
  • 19' It looks surprising China does not make any changes. Lucy Bronze has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 24' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 26' Goal! Lauren Hemp scores his 4 goal in 13 matches.
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. England needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' What a strike from Lauren James! The score is 0-3.
  • 46' Time for substitution for England. Georgia Stanway is replaced by Laura Coombs.
  • 51' Li Mengwen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' England receives a card for a hard tackle on 56.
  • 57' What a strike from Wang Shuang! The score is 1-3.
  • 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lou Jiahui made 3 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 66' GOAL! Lauren James scores on 66. Assisted by Jess Carter
  • 71' The whistle greets Lucy Bronze as he departs to be replaced by Niamh Charles.
  • 75' It is a substitution in China team. Li Mengwen is replaced by Wu Haiyan on 75 minute.
  • 77' GOAL! Chloe Kelly scores on 77. Assisted by Lauren James
  • 81' Ella Toone has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lauren James on 81 minute.
  • 84' Goal! Rachel Daly scores his 1 goal in 13 matches.
  • 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Zhang Linyan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Mengyu Shen. He replaces Wu Cheng Shu on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. England beats China
