England not playing for a draw v Sweden - Wiegman

England secured their place at Euro 2025 after a nervous end to their final qualifying match away in Sweden.

The Lionesses started the match well after three changes from Sarina Wiegman brought Lucy Bronze, Ella Toone and Millie Bright back into the team. They dominated the ball over the first half, passing with tempo and looking for the opening goal. Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway both had decent efforts but the Lionesses failed to utilise their dominance in front of goal.

As the match progressed Sweden grew in confidence and desperation. The hosts, knowing they needed to win to get through, introduced Rosa Kafaji and Evelyn Ijeh in the second half.

Both substitutes were quick and direct but the restored partnership of Bright and Leah Williamson kept them at bay. The final 10 minutes were a nervous affair but England held out and will defend their title at the Euros next summer.

90 mins: Niamh Charles comes on in the final minute to replace Lauren Hemp. That’s a clear sign that Sarina Wiegman wants to close out this match and get qualification secured.

There’s going to be four minutes of added time to play.

84 mins: Save!

Filippa Angeldal smokes a shot at goal from a long way out. The ball dips and swerves right at the last moment but Hannah Hampton manages to keep it.

That was awkward but England are still on level terms.
