The ‘Lionesses’ immediately put the pressure on at the start of the match and it was Lauren Hemp who first alerted Nicky Evrard of a sudden strike (3rd).
The Red Flames responded quickly with a header from Vanhaevermaet (9th), saved magnificently by English goalkeeper Earps. The English finally opened the scoring from a corner thanks to the same Hemp, who was present on the rebound after a post from the head of captain Bright (13th).
At the start of the second half, Russo missed the target and the break after a superb action from Chloé Kelly (50th). On the Belgian side, it was Wijnants who alerted Earps with a clear shot but the English goalkeeper remained vigilant (56th). Evrard, often put to the test during the match, first released a beautiful free kick from Greenwood at the edge of the last quarter of an hour (71st) and then a strike from Hemp (78th). The score remained fixed at 1-0 and the English left with the 3 points.
In the other meeting of this group A1, the Netherlands largely beat Scotland 4-0. With this result, Belgium leaves the head of the group to the Netherlands and drops to third place with 4 points, two points behind the Netherlands and England, which the Red Flames will meet again on Tuesday in Leuven.
