England moved to the top of Group D on six points, but their place in the last 16 is still not assured China’s 1-0 win over Haiti means that all is still to play for heading into the last round of matches
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS ENGLAND moved one step closer to the World Cup last 16 after a Lauren James cracker in the sixth minute gave them a 1-0 win over Denmark.
China’s 1-0 win over Haiti later on Friday means that all is still to play for heading into the last round of matches on Tuesday, when England play China and Haiti face Denmark.Denmark might have stolen a point with three minutes left in normal time when, despite having as little as 20 percent of the possession for much of the game, Amalie Vangsgaard shaved the outside of the England post with a header.
She needed just six minutes to justify her inclusion, drifting off the left into the middle, skipping past a weak challenge and bending the ball with her right foot into the bottom corner from outside the box. England were already missing captain Leah Williamson and Euro 2022 Golden Boot winner Beth Mead, both ruled out before the tournament with knee injuries.
Needing to avoid defeat in Adelaide, China were the dominant team in damp conditions until Zhang Rui was sent off in the 29th minute for a clumsy tackle on Sherly Jeudy.
