- Late goal from Hayley Turner secures a draw for England Under-23 Women
- Coach Craig Keegan praises intensity and effort
- China up next for England in Six Nations Tournament in Breda
A late goal from Hayley Turner helped England Under-23 Women salvage a 1-1 draw against Germany in the Six Nations Tournament in Breda, The Netherlands, on Wednesday afternoon.
Germany had taken an early lead with Elisia Grave scoring from open play after just two minutes, and England held them out for the rest of the half and came out looking sharper after half time.
But it took until the 65th minute before they could score, Turner leveling after a mis-hit shot at the top of the D re-presented itself and she fired home into the bottom right corner in spectacular fashion.
“Two evenly matches teams fought out a very competitive 1-1 draw,” said Head Coach Craig Keegan. “We were disappointed to concede early but regrouped at half time and came out to play with higher intensity and effort consistently winning the ball in their half. It was a fantastic finish from Hayley Turner to level the game. We now have a day off to prepare for our next matches.”
After a rest day on Thursday, England Under-23 Women take on China on Friday at 12.15pm (GMT).
England (0) 1
Hayley Turner – 65 (PC)
Germany (1) 1
Elisia Grave – 2 (FG)
