WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING THE EXCITING MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND VS SWEDEN FROM (05/04/2024), WHERE ENGLAND’S ALESSIA RUSSO SCORED A STUNNING HEADER AT ONLY 24 MINS. INTO THE GAME, AFTER A SUPERB PASS FROM LAUREN JAMES. ALESSIA HAD EARLIER NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, FROM AN INJURY TO HER ANKLE AT 6 MINS. AFTER A LATE TACKLE, BUT HAD PLOUGHED ON INTO THE GAME LIKE THE LIONESS THAT SHE IS! IT WASN’T UNTIL THE SECOND HALF THAT SWEDEN EQUALISED, WITH A HEADER FROM FRIDOLINA ROLFO IN AT THE BACK POST. THERE WERE A FEW CHANCES IN THE SECOND-HALF FOR BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE AGAIN, WITH A GREAT TRY BY THE QUICK-THINKING HEMP, FOLLOWING A PREVIOUS ONE BY WALSH, AND AN EQUALLY SKILFUL ATTEMPT BY SWEDEN’S BLACKSTENIUS (WHO YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL A ‘MENACE’ IF SHE DIDN’T PLAY FOR ARSENAL), BUT THEY WEREN’T TO BE. SO ENGLAND SHOULD WALK CONTENTEDLY AWAY FROM THIS DRAW WITH A POINT. CONGRATULATIONS LADIES – YOU LOOKED FIT AND CONFIDENT AND IT WAS THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING!
