The WSL is taking a minute so this week’s Top 5 Moments features the best bits from across the international stage.
Here’s some of our favourite moments, so you can stay to up to date with the action!
Lionesses U17’s secure a spot in the World Cup Semi-Final
The U17 Lionesses have narrowly made it through to the World Cup semi-finals, hosted by the Dominican Republic.
Their match against Japan last night went to penalties after a 2-2 draw, with England securing the victory (penalties: 4-1). Watch the winning penalty here…
The win means they’ll face Spain in the semi-final on Thursday (11pm on the FIFA website). In the other semi-final, the US take on North Korea on Wednesday.
The final takes place on Sunday 03 November. Good luck to the semi-finalists!
McCabe doing McCabe things
It was a confident 6-0 win for the Republic of Ireland who faced Georgia in Tbilisi this weekend.
In the 67th minute, McCabe saw the Georgia goalkeeper off her line and fired an effort from around 40 yards out. The result….well, take a look.
Post-match, manager Eileen Gleeson was complimentary of the subs who made a “real impact” for the side as they head into the second leg of the play-off at Tallaght Stadium tomorrow night as the Girls in Green look to qualify for a first Women’s Euros!
The Reggae Girlz’s new recruit
Liverpool’s Taylor Hinds made her senior debut this weekend for the Jamaica Women’s National Team.
The 25-year-old, who has previously been a part of the England U17 and U19 squads, walked out with the Reggae Girlz in a friendly against France.
The match ended 3-0 to France with goals from Clara Mateo, Wendy Renard and Sandy Baltimore.
Hinds has made over 80 appearances from Liverpool since joining the side in 2020 from Everton. They currently sit 6th in the WSL on six points.
She’s A Keeper
The South Africa Women’s National Team played Eswatini on Friday, but this moment went viral with goalkeeper Jessica Williams scoring the second goal from the edge of the centre circle.
It was a big responsibility for Williams who is back in the national team after being in and out of the squad over the past couple of years.
South Africa take on England tomorrow night in a friendly in Coventry. This free-kick may well form part of the Lionesses analysis…
Bayern delivered at Wembley
The Lionesses took on Germany in a friendly at Wembley on Friday night but things did not go to plan…
German striker, Giulia Gwinn scored in the 4th minute, pouncing on a defensive error, but the goals didn’t stop there.
Gwinn doubled the lead in the 11th minute and teammate Klara Buhl scored in the 29th, leaving England in a state of shock with only half an hour played.
It ended 3-4 to Germany with five of the seven goals scored by members of the Bayern Munich team (Georgia Stanway, Klara Buhl and Giulia Gwinn).
Despite Sara Dabritz currently being at Lyon, she also spent a four year period at Bayern between 2015-2019 too!
