England hosted Jamaica in a pre-Euros friendly at the King Power before the USA took on the Republic of Ireland.
Here's how the friendly action unfolded.
Scorers: Toone 10', 45+4', Bronze 32', Stanway 59', Russo 71', Beever-Jones 85', Mead 90+6
England completed their Euro 2025 preparations with a 7-0 victory against Jamaica.
The Lionesses broke the deadlock as Ella Toone controlled on the edge of the area and curled into the top corner.
Kayla McKenna thought she'd equalised for Jamaica moments later with a deflected finish, but the goal was ruled out by VAR.
England continued to control the game and Lucy Bronze headed in a second from Jess Carter's cross.
Toone got on the scoresheet again in first-half injury time with a curling strike that hit the post and crept into the net.
There was no let-up from the Lionesses after half time and Georgia Stanway rifled an unstoppable shot high into the net and Russo added a fifth with a close-range header.
Aggie Beever-Jones scored late, tapping in from Nimah Charles' low cross into the six-yard area, and Beth Mead lashed in a seventh in injury time.
Sarina Wiegman's side dominated at the King Power and now have a five-day break before their Euro 2025 opener against France, while Jamaica suffered a fifth consecutive defeat.
Scorers: Biyendolo 11', Rodriguez 42', Ryan 65', Thompson 88'
The USA struck first when Emma Sears raced down the right flank and crossed to Lynn Biyendolo, who volleyed first time into the net.
Ireland's first attack came late in the first half as Kyra Carusa found space inside the USA area and fired into the side-netting.
The USA then doubled their lead before the break after Isabel Rodriguez reacted first to Courtney Brosnan's save and finished into the net.
Yazmeen Ryan added a third shortly after half time, finishing a well-worked USA move with a low first-time shot and Alyssa Thompson notched the fourth and final goal of the afternoon with a powerful strike from inside the area.
Hayes' USA were in complete control throughout and have won four games in a row without conceding, while Ireland fell to a second consecutive international defeat.
