Lionesses Held to a Draw by Sweden in Wembley Clash
Match Report and Live Coverage
England Women's hopes of starting their Euro 2025 campaign with a win were dashed on Sunday as they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Sweden at Wembley Stadium. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, the Lionesses were unable to convert their advantage into a victory.
Sweden took the lead against the run of play in the 25th minute when Stina Blackstenius headed home a corner kick. England responded well to the setback and equalized just five minutes later through a stunning strike from Ella Toone. However, the Lionesses were unable to find a winning goal despite creating several clear-cut opportunities.
The result leaves England in third place in Group A3, behind Sweden and Portugal. The Lionesses will now face Belgium in their next match on Wednesday, while Sweden will take on Portugal. A win for England is essential if they want to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages alive.
