Overview

• Marie-Antoinette Katoto opened the scoring in the 36th minute before Sandy Baltimore doubled France’s lead three minutes later to seize control.
• England’s late consolation from Keira Walsh in the 87th minute proved insufficient to overturn the deficit.
• Sarina Wiegman suffered her first Women’s Euros loss as a coach, halting a 12-match winning run in the competition.
• The Netherlands’ 3-0 victory over Wales earlier on Saturday leaves England trailing both France and the Dutch in Group D.
• England’s preparations have been disrupted by high-profile retirements and injuries, and Lauren James’ return from a hamstring issue failed to shift the game’s momentum.
