England vs Sweden LIVE: Lionesses result and final score from Euro 2025 qualifier at Wembley

55 mins: Alessia Russo is called offside for a lovely run in-behind. It looked very very close. England’s turn for a bit of possession now, as Stanway skips past one challenge and wins a foul.

Grace Clinton comes off for Ella Toone. The former will be extremely happy with an assured, competent performance.

54 mins: James and Walsh combine to win it back from a dangerous-looking attack, and Hemp breaks free down the right. She cuts her run inside and attempts a reverse pass, but it’s cut out.

Ella Toone is getting ready on the sidelines.

52 mins: Sweden win their fourth corner of the game after Wubben-Moy tackles Arsenal teammate Blackstenius. England clear once again.

51 mins: England have struggled to keep possession so far in the second half, but they’ve not really been troubled yet.

49 mins: Sweden attack once more as Blackstenius holds off Greenwood. Andersson and Rolfo exchange passes, but Lucy Bronze does well to win it back.

48 mins: Asllani finds herself in acres of space and she delivers a nice cross, but Greenwood clears.

47 mins: England are happy to let Sweden have it in their half as we begin the second period.

KICK-OFF! Alessia Russo gets the half started. No changes from either side.

England head into the tunnel after a half that showed a lot of promise, but one that also will remind them of Sweden’s ever-present threat.

Lauren James’ cross for Alessia Russo’s goal capped off a fantastically worked move, and the home side had a couple more chances that just lacked that final bit of quality.

The away side gave a good account of themselves, will some lovely exchanges in the England half. They nearly worked a couple of great opportunities, but England’s defence has held firm so far.

The teams are coming back out of the tunnel for the second half. England would definitely take a similar half to the first, with maybe a little more ruthlessness.
