Belgium v ​​England: Women’s Nations League – Live

Goal! Belgium 1-2 England (Kirby 44)

42 minutes: Denev was unable to continue the game and was replaced by Venantz. When play resumed, England almost took the lead. Quarterback Walsh sent a beautiful slant pass to the Browns from the backfield and rushed into the end zone from the right inside channel. Bronze header Everard parries. Russo couldn’t guide the rebound to the unguarded left side of the net, and her instinctive shot went wide. The distance is too close.

41 minutes: Kelly drifted in from the right and fired an erratic low shot inches from the bottom left corner. Everard blocks the ball.

40 minutes: England wanted a second and put pressure on Belgium. The hosts were yet to decide what to do with Denev, who appeared to pull something out when clearing.

36 minutes: Bronze got good work down the right and won a cheap free-kick from the clumsy De Troyer. But before kick-off Deneve went down, the physios came on and performed the internationally recognized pantomime of a substitute. Not sure she would be able to continue.

35 minutes: England tried their best to equalize the score, Kelly took a corner kick from the right and Everard took the penalty well.

33 minutes: Blohm, by the way, has been cleared to continue playing. The top of her head was bandaged, leaving a space for a topknot. She was relieved that she was healthy. The game resumed, although everyone was clearly a little distracted.

31 minutes: Greenwood was carefully transferred to a stretcher and there was loud applause as she was led down the tunnel. God bless Alex Greenwood. Carter takes her place.

29 minutes: Players from both teams gathered in separate circles to keep warm while the physical therapists continued training at Greenwood. Both teams were clearly trying to stay focused, but it’s difficult to do so in these circumstances and the worry was clearly etched on everyone involved.

27 minutes: They spent a lot of time on Greenwood, putting her in a neck brace before placing her on a stretcher. Hopefully this is all just precautionary and they won’t take any chances. They spent as long as they needed to secure Greenwood. Safe and healthy.

25 minutes: Blom stood up and was able to continue… but after going over to check on the injured Greenwood, she looked rather shocked and upset. It was a completely honest and unexpected collision between two players struggling for the ball, but her pain is completely understandable.

23 minutes: England’s physiotherapists are taking their time to provide Greenwood with appropriate care. Meanwhile, Blom was properly bandaged up and her head was completely wrapped. Maybe she’ll be able to continue playing?

21 minutes: Greenwood lay face down on the lawn, motionless. A stretcher was called. It looked like she couldn’t continue. Blom didn’t look well either, but luckily she stood up from a sitting position, if only so she could press the bandage over her head.

19 minutes: Both Blom and Greenwood were locked in a 50-50 shoulder-high header battle… and both men were in pain when their heads collided. It was a passionate challenge with very unpleasant results. Both players get down on the ground and continue their physiology.

18 minutes: Bronze tried to release Hamp from the inside right channel, but goal scorer Denev passed the ball and prepared to shoot the ball. Everard hasn’t been forced into serious action yet for England’s time of possession…just look at the score.

16 minutes: Hamp beat Drews to right. She goes through with style, but her trackbacks aren’t as clinical as her runs. But England struck again, and Walsh shoveled the ball from the right to Bronze, who stretched out to cross only for the offside flag to suddenly appear. England had a lot of fun on this flank.

14 minutes: Charles and Hamp worked well together to win the corner kick on the left. Kelly made a dangerous dash towards the near post. Belgium came close to clearing the defence, but England struck straight back, sending the Bronze Pearl’s long-range shot inches over the crossbar.

12 minutes: It was a brilliant free-kick from Denev… but England played a part in their own defeat, first with Kelly’s loose pass which gave Belgium their first impetus of the night, then when Kelly just wanted to buy A cheap free kick thanks to the decision to go another route. Mistakes cost England in the Netherlands; they will hope to avoid a similar self-defeating story tonight.

10 minutes: England responded immediately, with the Bronze winning a corner kick on the right. Long pass from Kelly. Van Havermaet headed the ball clear at the far post.

Goal! Belgium 1-0 England (Denev 9)

8 minutes: Kelly fell to the ground under the pressure behind Keith. She expected a minor foul, but the referee didn’t see any push. Instead, it’s a handball from Kelly, just to the right of D.

6 minutes: Most of the early action happened in the Belgian half…Hang in there! scrub! Kelly got the ball out cheaply in midfield, allowing the home side to counterattack. Suddenly Urad ripped open! Her aim was for the top left corner…but Earps palmed it around but it didn’t matter as the offside flag would have been raised.

5 minutes: Bronze slid Russo into space on the right side. Russo jumps on Delos… but she’s gone too soon. The flag pops up.

4 minutes: Russo was blocked on the left wing and it was England’s chance to send an early free-kick into the Belgian penalty area. Kelly scored the ball.Everard punches miles Be clear with confidence.

3 minutes: Since you asked, the brass band was playing a European version of “The Final Countdown.” The choices in the first few minutes are strange, but everyone has their own choice.

2 minutes: Den Dreef was packed. Some brass band chaos. But it was a quiet start on the pitch.

England get into action… But only after the knee.

The team is out! Belgium is red and England is white. After the national anthem is played, we start the game.

It was Belgium coach Ives Senels’ turn. “We enjoyed Friday… We try to do it the same way but maybe enjoy it a little more and get a better result… We love playing here in Leuven… We love this stadium and our fans love it it.”

Salina Wegman interviewed by ITV. “We expect we will have the ball a lot and be close to the opponent’s final third… I hope Frank Kirby will bring us composure, final passing, patience… Nia Charles has developed well, she had a great game on Friday, she was very aggressive… The most important thing for us is possession of the ball, the last third, being more patient and finding the right Passing the ball, having the right links… just a little more, scoring goals with the chances we create… we’re close to winning every game… we want to get to the final and win the Nations League, so we want to win this Game…we’re going to be very motivated.”

England made changes from Friday night. Fran Kirby returns to replace Ella Toone, who dropped to the bench.

Belgium made two changes. Jasina Blom and Sari Keys are back from injury, with Feli Draco and Jordy Wanhluwe on the bench.
