England beat Brazil on penalties to win inaugural Women’s Finalissima at Wembley
Posted Friday, April 07, 2023 by PA
England’s Chloe Kelly scored the winning spot-kick to settle the inaugural Women’s Finalissima after a dramatic evening against Brazil in front of a 83,132 Wembley crowd ended in a 4-2 penalty shootout victory.
Ella Toone looked to have secured the win for England with her 23rd-minute strike the game’s only goal going into the third minute of second-half stoppage time.
But Andressa Alves managed to beat England keeper Mary Earps to force the shootout, where Georgia Stanway, Rachel Daly, Alex Greenwood and Kelly – who scored the goal here that made the Lionesses European champions last summer – got the job done.
Sarina Wiegman’s side are now undefeated in 30 matches, and will look to extend that streak when they host Australia in next week’s pre-World Cup friendly.
