The victory against Argentina, ranked 37th in the world, means that the Lionesses guaranteed a place in the round of 16.

Nikita Parris having failed to convert a kick in the first half, it took England a little over an hour to dismantle a well disciplined Argentine team. And our Chelsea striker was part of the play that led Jodie Taylor to come home, putting an end to this fierce fight in Le Havre.

The last meeting between the two teams took place at the 2007 World Cup, when England beat the South Americans 6 to 1 in the group stage. The Blues, Telford and Carney, were part of the Chinese team.

Phil Neville set up his team in 4-3-3 and made four changes from their opening World Cup match. Ellen White, who scored against Scotland, was replaced by Taylor, while Millie Bright and Kiera Walsh replaced Abbie McManus and Jade Moore. Kirby continued to operate behind the first three and Carney replaced her teammate in Chelsea in the 89th minute.

England started the game with confidence and dropped the ball with ease. However, the first real chance did not come before the 24th minute. Kirby led the ball into the congested area that fell from Reading to the first post of Reading, Moore, but Aldana Cometti dipped and cleared.

A few minutes later, the Lionesses were given a penalty when United's Alex Braver fell into the penalty area by Ruth Bravo, and the referee did not hesitate to point the point. Parris, who scored the first goal of the 2019 World Cup campaign in England with a penalty, failed to convert this time. The No. 1 of Argentina, Vanina Correa, jumped to the right and perfectly impressed the secondary effort of Parris.
