Lee Carsley’s team was unable to break through the Irish defense before the break, but in the second half they fully confirmed their status as favorites
On Wembley the match of the sixth round of group B2 took place Nations League 2024/25 — England team destroyed houses Ireland (5:0).
In the first half, Heimir Hallgrimsson’s team managed to keep their goal locked, but after the break there was no particular intrigue on the field.
In the 51st minute, Ireland defender Liam Scales received a second yellow card, and England were awarded a penalty. Harry Kane approached the spot and left no chance for Quivin Kelleher.
Within five minutes after the first goal, the English scored twice more – Anthony Gordon and Conor Gallagher scored in turn. Jarrod Bowen scored the fourth goal in the 76th minute, before Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis scored on his England debut.
Thus, England and Greece went the distance in the tournament with 15 points each, but Lee Carsley’s team has the better goal difference in head-to-head matches. It is she who returns to Division A a year later, while Greece will try to do this through the playoffs.
Ireland, in turn, finished third in the group. She is waiting for the playoffs with the representative of Division C.
