Man Utd goalkeeper helps England win the Women's World Cup

Scorer: Stanway (29' pen).

The European champion is considered a bright championship candidate at the Women's World Cup, while possessing a group of talented players at maturity. However, Sarina Wiegman's students did not leave much of an impression in their victory over world number 53, Haiti.

He outperformed the opponent, but only scored a single goal from Georgia Stanway's penalty in the 29th minute. Even the number 8 player took two attempts to succeed. On the first kick, Stanway failed to eat but was later re-kick because the Haitian goalkeeper left the goal line early.

The match saw VAR come into play several times in the first half. Each team benefits once. In the 19th minute, England seemed to be awarded a penalty after Pierre-Louis kicked Kelly in the penalty area, but fortunately for the CONCACAF representative when Alessia Russo of England earlier fouled the Haitian defender.

A few minutes later, it was England's turn to be helped by VAR. They scored thanks to Stanway's second penalty. Leading 1-0 but England did not take advantage of the mental advantage to find more goals. In contrast, they nearly lost at the end of the half when Borgella headed off the post.

Haiti surprised when kicking tit-for-tat with the world's number four opponent in the second half. Thanks to the excellence of goalkeeper Mary Earps, the "Three Lions" kept the net in the opening match. Goalkeeper Mary Earps twice helped England escape ten goals, in the 50th and 81st minutes, after Haitian close-range shots.

Haiti's loss to world number four means that CONCACAF representatives have yet to win a match in the Women's World Cup. Since 1991, no team has won its opening match in the first World Cup.

In the other match of Group D, Denmark won all three points against China, thanks to their only shot on target in the match, in the 90+1 minute. In the next match on July 28, Haiti meets China and Denmark meets the British women's team.
