England missed out on a spot in the Nations League finals as Claudia Pina’s double saw Spain come from behind to beat them 2-1 and win Group A3 themselves.
The Lionesses cast aside the hosts’ dominance to lead from their first shot when Alessia Russo slotted past the onrushing Cata Coll after beating the offside trap from Kiera Walsh’s through ball.
Spain were furious play was not brought back for what appeared to be a valid complaint about an earlier foul from Niamh Charles, but their protests fell on deaf ears with England’s lead setting them on course to reach October’s finals.
Their hopes were dashed on the hour mark as Claudia Pina, a surprise absence from the Spain starting line-up, saw an effort squirm past Hannah Hampton two minutes after coming on.
England created so little all game they had little answer to Spain’s equaliser, and instead fell behind to a second from Pina, who beat Hampton again with a fine 25-yard effort which nestled in off the far post.
Spain continued to look the more threatening, but even without the cushion of a third goal, they comfortably held on to reach the finals themselves.
The Lionesses’ final game before their Euro 2025 squad is confirmed on Thursday raised more questions than answers for Sarina Wiegman, whose side are now guaranteed to see their winless streak outside of England extended into a second year.

GLOSA: Až teď se ukáže, zda mají Češi na MS. Chorvati uctivě zdraví
Haškovi hoši zatím potkávají týmy, kterým by měla být Severní Amerika vzdálená nejen geograficky.Faerské ostrovy se zlepšují, ale stále se řadí mezi outsidery.Gibraltar je spíš jako povinný výlet než duel s nějakou vypovídací hodnotou.Černá Hora snese přísnější měřítko, ale stále jde o 73. tým světového žebříčku, před nímž najdete země jako Burkina Faso nebo Irák.Češi zapsali postupně výsledky 2:1, 4:0 a 2:0. Skóre se po pátečním vystoupení v Plzni vyhouplo 8:1. Může je těšit, že výkony v kvalifikaci mají stoupající úroveň.Chorvatům ale stačil na souhrnný sedmibrankový rozdíl ve skóre jediný mač. V pátek si na hřišti Gibraltaru zastříleli 7:0.Favorit skupiny zároveň poslal uctivý pozdravu reprezentačnímu trenéru Haškovi. „V Chorvatsku to bude jiný kalibr,“ věděl i on sám. Cenil si výher, ale nepřeceňoval je. Stejně jako jeho podřízení. „Ze tří zápasů je devět zápasů povinných,“ uznal útočník Patrik Schick.Jsem rád, že jsem si aspoň jeden centr našel, ale mohl jsem dát ještě […]

It marked the highest-scoring first period in the Stanley Cup Final since 2016 when the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks also combined for five goals.Marchand and teammate Anton Lundell ended up combining to make each of Marchand's goals possible. At the 8:04 mark of the second overtime period, Lundell was able to flip the puck ahead of the pack to Marchand, […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo rumors: Rival teams growing skeptical that Bucks star will become available in a trade
All has been quiet on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade front for some time now. The rumors began the moment Damian Lillard tore his Achilles in Game 4 of Milwaukee's first-round series against the Indiana Pacers. The Bucks were eliminated in Game 5, and on May 12, Shams Charania reported that Antetokounmpo was "open-minded about exploring whether his best long-term fit is remaining in Milwaukee or playing elsewhere." Five days later, on May 17, Chris Haynes reported that the Bucks were expected to meet with Antetokounmpo to discuss the team's plans within the next week.Ever since then? Radio silence. There has been almost no substantive reporting on Antetokounmpo's future, and it is not known if such a meeting ever took place. With the calendar flipping to June and the NBA Draft and the unofficial start of trade season looming, there is, […]
Florida v neskutečném zápase srovnala. Druhé finále Stanley Cupu rozhodl Marchandův únik v 89. minutě
Kdo spal, prohloupil. Strhující první zápas měl ještě lepší pokračování. Tón udala naprosto mimořádná úvodní třetina, v níž padlo pět gólů a domácí šli do vedení 3:2. Floridské odhodlání srovnat stav série v ní narazilo na genialitu Connora McDavida a rychlé nohy jeho spoluhráčů.Panthers nevynechali ani jednu příležitost, aby v přerušené hře nehráli na nervy domácích hráčů. Sam Bennett a Matthew Tkachuk se na hraně brankoviště pravidelně naváželi do gólmana Stuarta Skinnera a edmontonští beci měli co dělat, aby je odkázali do patřičných mezí.Jako první ale tentokrát udeřili hosté, když v přesilovce dvanáctým gólem v play off rozjásal floridskou lavičku Bennett. Oilers ale stačila stosekundová pasáž, aby skóre obrátili zásluhou rány Evandera Kanea a opakované střely Evana Boucharda.„Tyhle dva týmy jsou tak silné, že není možné dominovat po celý zápas,“ tvrdil už po prvním střetiu Tkachuk a jeho slova došla naplnění i v noci na sobotu. Na vyrovnávací branku Setha Jonese reagoval McDavid […]
