Sarina Wiegman’s status as England manager continues to rise. Following last year’s European Championship final victory, the first “Finalalissima” in women’s football history was won on Thursday evening.
In front of more than 83,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium, Brazil lost 1-1 on penalties.
The fight between the European Champion and the South American Champion is not only prestigious, but also dominated by the World Championships, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
Wiegman has made a huge impact on England since taking office in September 2021. After the duel with Brazil, the English were unbeaten for 30 consecutive matches.
So it’s no surprise that England is considered the top favorite for the World Cup title. It will also be a first for the successful Wiegman, who has also won numerous individual awards.
The exam, which started without the injured star player Marta (37) with Brazil, was thought-provoking. In the middle of the first half, Lucy Bronze’s return made Ella Toone 1-0.
A legitimate lead at the time, but after the break, the Brazilians got two big chances in three minutes.

First Ary smashed over the ball in a promising position and then Geyse shot over the post via goalkeeper Mary Earps.
A disappointing England escaped then. In the remaining half-hour, neither team created any important positions until extra time.
Goalkeeper Earps made a cross from the side and Andressa Alves was there like a chicken and made the score 1-1. After the final whistle, there was a penalty shootout.
Earps fixed a penalty shootout error by rolling over a bet made by Tamires. He also saw Raffaele crash into the bar. Only Toone was missing from the British.
Chloe Kelly, who was also the golden chicken in the European Championship final played against Germany last year, took the decisive penalty against the ropes.
