England’s girls found themselves in a tough match as they
played their second Pool B game in the European Under 18s Championships in
Dublin. Facing Germany, they managed to
reach the halfway mark at 1-1, after England’s Clio O’Malley equalised. But the
match slipped away from them early in the second half, with two German goals in
two minutes.
The Germans increased their tally to four with 16 minutes
left to play. Kitty McWhirter found the net for England as the match entered
its last 10 minutes, and that is how the match ended; 2-4 to Germany.
The result puts England on second place in Pool B, ahead of
Belgium on goal difference. Germany lead the table, with Russia trailing in
fourth.
England will play their final Pool B match tomorrow
(Thursday) in a crucial encounter with Belgium.
