The highly-anticipated clash between England and the United States’ women ended in a 0-0 draw at Wembley. Former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was denied victory in her return to London as the USA had a goal ruled out for offside and a penalty overturned by VAR. European champions England were more solid defensively but lacked creativity in front of a 78,000 crowd. Hayes expressed pride in coaching America while acknowledging England’s developmental stage. England’s coach Sarina Wiegman was encouraged by the performance and emphasized the need for continuous improvement. Both teams will play friendlies on Tuesday, with England facing Switzerland and the USA traveling to the Netherlands. England is preparing for the Euros in Switzerland next year, and the USA remains focused on continued development and success on the international stage.
