China 1-6 England

The Chinese women's team still has a chance to advance if they can defeat the English women's team in the final match of the 2023 Women's World Cup group stage. However, the Asian representative's ambition was soon doused with cold water. In the 4th minute, from a pass from Lauren James, Alessia Russso finished with a brilliant shot to open the score for the English women's team.

The striker's goal made the girls from the foggy country play with excitement. They created a suffocating pressure against the Chinese women's team.

Defender Reece James's sister passed the ball very well to Lauren Hemp, who finished with class, doubling the gap for the European representative.

The rest of the first half, the Chinese women's team played hard but they continued to suffer many dangerous attacks. In the 43rd minute, Lauren James had a beautiful long-range shot to widen the gap to 3 goals. She also had another long-range shot into the net in the 4th minute of extra time but the goal was disallowed because Lucy Bronze was offside.

In the second half, the Chinese women's team gradually showed bright spots. They started to have a few attacks and one of them was effective.
