    Ohhh that was unlucky.

    Ridiculous touch and turn from Georgia Stanway and she looks for Rachel Daly but the Aston Villa forward can't get on the end of it.

    Fran Kirby has been a good player for England tonight, but then it is important to manage her minutes and to not overload.

    Belgium had a great chance to take the lead, but the strike was far too close to Mary Earps. Tessa Wullaert should have given her no chance.

    Belgium 2-2 England

    Sarina Wiegman has seen enough and is going to make a couple of changes.

    Off come Alessia Russo and Fran Kirby for Ella Toone and Rachel Daly.

    As expected, Kirby gets a warm reception from the visiting fans.

  5. Netherlands lead against Scotlandpublished at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2023

    Scotland 0-1 Netherlands

    Oh dear. Scotland have conceded to the Netherlands, with Esmee Brugts on the scoresheet at Hampden Park.

    That is not good news for England. As it stands, the Netherlands are two points above the Lionesses in League A Group 1.

    Remember, only the League A group winners will be drawn into semi-final ties and the two finalists will join hosts France as the European representatives at the 2024 Olympic Games.

    England are the representatives for Team GB in qualifying.

    Alessia Russo just strays offside there, but the angle was tight for her and not able to force a save from Nicky Evrard.

    Promising play, running off the back shoulder.

    Lovely floated pass from Keira Walsh to her Barcelona team mate Lucy Bronze at the back post but Bronze couldn't quite get the connection.

    Bronze slaps the turf in frustration.

    Alessia Russo just not finding the net tonight.

    She drives down the right-hand side but the angle was tight and she smacks it into the side netting.

    I think Russo had just strayed offside anyway.

    What big stop from Mary Earps.

    Tessa Wullaert on the back shoulder and it is a great stop from Earps, the through ball is perfect.

    Wulleart gets the better of Jess Carter and Millie Bright but cannot get the better of Earps.

    FT: Iceland 0-2 Germany

    Germany have done Wales a favour and beaten Iceland 2-0.

    It means Wales, bottom of League A Group 3, remain three points behind Iceland.

    Wales' hopes of avoiding relegation are likely to rest on their home clash with Iceland on 5 December.

    Belgium 2-2 England

    Another dangerous counter attack from Belgium.

    Tessa Wullaert is through again and the Belgium captain loses Jess Carter then Millie Bright. But this time it's a really good save down to Mary Earps' left.

    It's similar again to her goal in the first half. A big opportunity for the home side.

    Lucy Bronze finds herself in a bit of space down the right. Keira Walsh makes the run but it doesn't quite come off.

    Alessia Russo has not had her shooting boots on, but her work-rate and hold up play has been brilliant.

    That would have been a lovely goal. Really good team move. Alessia Russo had picked up the ball on the edge of the area after Lauren Hemp had come under pressure.

    A shame for England.

  15. Northern Ireland hold Hungary as Republic seal promotionpublished at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2023

    FT: Northern Ireland 1-1 Hungary

    It ends 1-1 in Belfast.

    After finding themselves a goal down against Hungary, Northern Ireland equalised in the 79th minute with a stunning strike from Danielle Maxwell.

    That result helps Northern Ireland put a little more distance between themselves and Albania, who are bottom of League B Group 1.

    It also sees the Republic of Ireland top the group and seal promotion to League A, following their 1-0 win against Albania earlier this evening.

    Fantastic from Nicky Evrard.

    Positive play from England, the ball from Alessia Russo is perfect to Lucy Bronze.

    But then Fran Kirby could not force it past Evrard.

  17. CLOSE!published at 51 mins

    Belgium 2-2 England

    A stunning ball from Alessia Russo to find Lucy Bronze on the right.

    It looked like Bronze was going to shoot herself but she opted to cut back for Fran Kirby who lashed a shot towards goal.

    For a moment I thought it might have sneaked over the line but in the end it was a really good save from Nicky Evrard.

    All set for a fantastic second half. No need to panic. We have the beating of these.

    England need to dominate the game a lot more than they did in the first-half.

    They need to take it back to the first-half back in Leicester last week where they moved it quickly - they have not done that today.

    Again in midfield being sloppy, Georgia Stanway is guilty of it. But then Tessa Wullaert cuts across Millie Bright and it is top play for Belgium's second goal.

    Wullaert is their danger player.
