Wavy play in the lively opening phase. After the British took control, wages were paid according to work. Beth Mead (pictured) tapped the ball past goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger, after which it was sent off the line. However, the bark had crossed the goal line allowing England to cheer for their own crowd.

Night candle
Even though England were chasing a doubler, Austria had the chance to draw 1-1 just before the break. However, the good ball to score did not reach Nicole Billa. After that, Lauren Hemp failed to bring England to a safe place by shooting the ball high over the goal right in front of the goal.
Despite Austria’s small chance 10 minutes from the end, the 2nd half came to nothing. England consolidated and not sharp in attacking play, after that the 2nd goal was not scored. Therefore, national coach Sarina Wiegman started with a win at the European Championships, but knows that there is still a lot of work to be done.
