Overview
- England won 3-0 at Pride Park, with goals from Aggie Beever-Jones, Lucy Bronze and a stoppage-time penalty by Georgia Stanway.
- Australia were reduced to 10 players in the 19th minute when Alanna Kennedy was sent off for denying Alessia Russo a goalscoring opportunity.
- Michelle Agyemang, 19, was stretchered off with a knee injury, and Sarina Wiegman said it “doesn’t look good” as medical assessments are pending.
- Hannah Hampton returned to the XI after an elbow issue, and debutants Lucia Kendall and Taylor Hinds featured, with Kendall earning player-of-the-match recognition.
- Beever-Jones later left with a knock, leaving England without further substitutions for the closing minutes, as the rotated side responded to Saturday’s defeat to Brazil.
