The Lionesses dominated Ella Toone's 23rd minute finish to a stoppage time in the third minute, when Mary Earps spilled a cross and replacement Andressa Alves stepped in to bring the game to a conclusion of 1-1. Toone was the first player to fail to score after Leticia saved her effort, but Earps made a superb save to deny Tamires moments later. Chloe Kelly converted the crucial point to give England a 4-2 victory and another trophy in front of a crowd of 83,132, following Rafaelle's kick against the bar. Boss Wiegman said: 'It was a wonderful night at the end, with of course an amazing audience and pitch - we'll never take for granted in this environment.' I think we did a good job in the first half.' We had a lot of possession and created a lot of chances, and we scored an amazing goal, but we hoped to score a little more than one.
