FT: Belgium 3-2 England
Serious celebrations from Belgium after the full-time whistle blows, England beaten again by a side that seems to have their number in Leuven. From 5-0 on Friday to 3-0 in half-an-hour here, the contrast was clear between the enervated side thrashed at Ashton Gate and a fully-focussed Belgian team tonight.
England rallied and Michelle Agyemang’s debut goal will live long in the memory, but it’s another difficult outing to raise questions over their depth.

Michelle Agyemang shows well again, winning a corner. Is this their last chance? Up comes goalkeeper Hannah Hampton…
Claimed by Lisa Lichtfus in the Belgium goal.

Esme Morgan is booked after reacting angrily to a Belgium foul, and then rather riskily tugs an opponent back to prevent a counter-attack developing. It’s far enough forward that no second yellow card is forthcoming.

Jarne Teulings is taken off. Tine De Caigny will charge about for three minutes or so as Belgium waste a bit of time.

Belgium have just calmed England a little. How much longer will the Lionesses have to hunt an equaliser?

After entering with aplomb, that’s rather more naive from Michelle Agyemang, a bundle in the back conceding a soft free kick.

You feel like Belgium are capable of a capitulation. That goal might have been plucked almost out of thin air but England were really starting to pile on the pressure beforehand. Can the hosts hold firm for the time that remains?

GOAL! Belgium 3-2 ENGLAND (Michelle Agyemang, 81 minutes)
Sensational! That is some way to mark your international arrival!
Something from nothing from Michelle Agyemang. A long ball is hit towards her more in hope than expectation, but the 19-year-old shows outrageous skill to bring it down with her thigh and then thunder a finish into the top corner on the volley. It’s a magical moment to give the Lionesses hope of a late equaliser.
