30,785 admirers saw how English women ruled against Northern Ireland. It was more of a celebratory match than a major tournament match, and that’s how superior the motherland is.
However, the Lionesses were not so lucky at the start of the match, as the VAR refused to put the ball on immediately after the Northern Ireland game. That stage seemed to bother them, because they didn’t interfere at all and crawled back. England dominated, without scoring chances.
In half an hour England managed to dismantle the low block for the first time. White only appeared in front of goal after a clever cross from her teammate, but her effort went to the wrong side of the post.
Northern Ireland collapsed, but the defense was not broken. The result of the glasses remained on the board. The English quickly deserved a goal. Northern Ireland literally had to throw life and limbs into the fight to keep the ball off the goal.
Even this was not enough to stop England. Kirby hit the ball into the goal before the end of the first half. The lionesses finally take the lead. In the first half, Meade doubled the goal with a lucky goal. The suffering of the Northern Irish began.
Especially when the price was again right after the break. Mead provided excellent assistance, and Russo headed the ball into the net. Barely 5 minutes later, substitute Russo made his way into goal again. In the end, the weak Northern Irish made the English party complete its malevolent aim.
With 9 out of 9 and a goal difference of 13 to 0, England seem ready to have a bigger team in their country.
