Spain thwarted the Lionesses for much of the opening 90 minutes. They had the better of the possession and shots, as well as using other time-stalling strategies to stop England from reaching their full potential in an ill-tempered encounter in Brighton.

They took the lead shortly after the break too, with VAR refusing England an opener and a penalty claim in the first half. Half-time substitute Athenea del Castillo excellently beat Rachel Daly on the right, before cutting the ball back for Esther Gonzalez. The Spain striker then made no mistake in firing past Mary Earps.

It was the first goal England had conceded at Euro 2022, and up until the 84th minute, looked to be making an early departure from their home competition. But substitute Ella Toone popped up to slot home Alessia Russo's nod down, sending the game into extra-time.

Spain felt aggrieved by the equaliser being given as they thought Russo had fouled captain Irene Parades in the build-up, but neither referee Stephanie Frappart or VAR felt the same. Spain's substitute goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez was shown a yellow card for dissent while on the bench.

Things continued going the lionessess way as they roared on by almost 29,000-strong crowd at the Amex Stadium, as an impressive hit from Stanway sealed the win. Keira Walsh fed her former Manchester City team-mate before the midfield unleashed an unstoppable effort from 20 yards, seeing England through in fine fashion.
