Leah Williamson Calm presence at the back. Constantly instructed her side. Led by example. 7
Rachel Daly Struggled to contain Del Castillo in the second half. Beaten for the goal. 6
Georgia Stanway Terrier-like in the middle. Battled for everything. Superb strike sent her side through. 8
Keira Walsh Had less space to manage under Spain’s pressure. Calming influence in possession. 7

Fran Kirby Struggled to influence in the No 10 role with not much space to work with. 6
Lauren Hemp Struggled in the first half. Grew into the game and threatened late on. 7
Ellen White Chased down every ball out of the Spanish defence. Offside a problem. 6
