The British ended up prevailing against the locals in the last minutes, they won 3-1 and on Sunday they will look for the first title in their history.
The selection of England victory to Australia by 2 to 1 and qualified to play the final of the Soccer Women’s World Cup which takes place in Oceania, and will play the final against spainin Sydney.
The goals for the British team were the work of Ella Tone (Manchester United) 36 minutes into the first half, and Lauren Hemp (Manchester City) and Alessia Russo (Arsenal), near the end of the game and after the locals scored the goal. partial draw.
That 1-1 goal that gave the Australians hope was scored at minute 18 through a great long-distance goal by Sam Kerr (Chelsea), who, being 1-2, had two very clear chances to equalize and did not define good.
Cheered on by nearly 80,000 female spectators at Stadium Australia in Sydney, where hundreds took to the streets in T-shirts, scarves and hats in the qualifier, the Matildas went for the feat led by their captain and goalscorer Kerr, who had played little at the World Cup for an injury.
But “the Lionesses” showed their trade as European champions and were not intimidated by the massive public support. They kept a close eye on English Chelsea figure Kerr, whom they know well.
Without the suspended Lauren James, their main attacking figure, England had Keira Walsh as their architect in midfield, whose play gave them a slight hegemony in a cautious first half for both teams.
“What I’ve always wanted is to play in a World Cup final“, declared Lucy Bronze, defender of Barcelona, to the BBC, after her selected, current European champion, agreed for the first time to the final of a World Cup.
In addition, England buried the dream of the Australian hosts to play in the World Cup final after a campaign that led them to the first semifinal in their history. “They were two teams that respected each other a lot and canceled each other out,” analyzed the manager of Las Matildas, the Swedish Tony Gustavsson.
In this way, the definition of the World Cup will have two teams that have never played a final of this tournament before. The precedent of the Euro Cup played on English soil last year, in which the British defeated Spain 2-1 in the quarterfinals in extra time, indicates that there could be a match of even development and without a clear favourite.
England and Spain will play on Sunday at 7 in the morning (Argentine time) in Sydney in the definition of the contest and thus a new world champion will be added to the list made up of the United States (4 titles), Germany (2) and Japan and Norway , who have one.
