Germany secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over England at Wembley Stadium, as the hosts kicked off their preparations for the upcoming European Championship.
Despite a spirited fightback, England’s defensive weaknesses were exposed, leading to a disappointing result.
Fans were treated to a high-energy match, with Germany racing to a commanding 3-0 lead within the first half hour. England’s Georgia Stanway managed to pull two goals back, but defensive errors allowed Germany to extend their lead once more, ultimately sealing the win.
“It’s one for the fans but not one for us,” Stanway reflected after the match, emphasizing the need for improvement as they gear up for Euro 2025.
The encounter highlighted critical areas for England to address, as coach Sarina Wiegman acknowledged the need for tactical adjustments ahead of their title defense in Switzerland next summer.
