England’s Lionesses have made history, becoming the first ever English team to reach the Women’s World Cup final. After a nail-biting semi-final against Australia, the Lionesses won 2-1, with goals from Ellen White and Lucy Bronze. The team will now face the USA in the final on Sunday 20th August.
The match was an emotional rollercoaster for fans, with Australia taking the lead in the first half. However, England fought back and equalised through Ellen White in the second half. With just minutes to go, Lucy Bronze scored a stunning goal to secure the win.
The victory was met with jubilation from fans across the country. England captain Steph Houghton said: “We’ve worked so hard for this moment and it’s amazing to be in the final. We’ve come so far and I’m so proud of the team.”
The Lionesses have been on an incredible journey since their first World Cup appearance in 2015. They have gone from strength to strength, reaching the semi-finals in 2015 and 2019, and now the final in 2019.
The team is made up of some of the best players in the world, including Lucy Bronze, who plays for Barcelona. Bronze said: “It’s been an incredible journey and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved. We’ve worked hard and we’re ready for the final.”
