Despite winning against the Haiti women's team in the previous round, the Chinese women's team's chances of advancing are still quite slim. Before the final match of Group D of the 2023 Women's World Cup, they have 3 points, equal with Denmark and 3 points behind England.

In the final round, the Chinese women's team must beat England by 2 goals to decide their fate. However, this is an impossible task for them.

Right from the first minutes of the match, the Asian representative had to accept the situation of taking the lead. Accordingly, in the 4th minute, Alessia Russo controlled the ball in the penalty area and then fired a weak but dangerous shot to put England in the lead.

After that, the Three Lions maintained a one-sided game for most of the match. Lauren Hemp (26'), Lauren James (41' and 65'), Chloe Kelly (77') and Rachel Daly (84') continued to score for the English team.

For their part, the Chinese women's team also had a number of dangerous opportunities, including a situation where Lucy Bronze handled the ball in the penalty area at the beginning of the second half and the referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot. Wang Shuang easily fooled goalkeeper Mary Earps to score for China.

In the end, the Chinese women's team lost 1-6 to England in a match they had to win. This defeat officially eliminated the reigning Asian champions from the group stage of the 2023 Women's World Cup. The English women's team topped Group D with 9 full points after 3 matches.

In the same match, the Danish women's team defeated Haiti 2-0, thereby winning second place in Group D and advancing to the round of 16 with the English team.
