FIFA Women's World Cup 2023: England vs Haiti Match Report

First Half:

England and Haiti met at the first match of Group D and the third game of Matchday 3 of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 in the Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane. The English players started the game slowly. It took some time to blend with the environment and stuff. Haiti on the other hand were using Dumornay's pace to penetrate the back line but the English defence was rock solid as they couldn't bypass that. England slowly started to gain momentum and in the 28th minute, England were awarded a penalty.

Kelly's deep corner seemed to brush the fingers of Batcheba Louis. VAR confirmed the decision but the Haitian goalkeeper, Theus saved the penalty. She dived to her right, but more drama as she was off her line when the shot was taken. Georgina Stanway retook the penalty and this time she buried that. Haiti tried to hit England on counters but couldn't find any clear openings. The first half ended with a 1-0 scoreline.

Second Half:

Haitian players looked confident in the second half and they started to cause trouble for England. Dumornay's pace opened up the midline a few times and she created the most number of opportunities for her team but Haitia still couldn't find the equaliser. England once again took time and managed to control the game once again. They did some changes and that worked in their favour. Daly came from the bench and provided them with constant threats in the opposition box.

England came near to another goal on a few occasions but they failed to extend the lead. As a result, the match became more tense than before. Although Haiti players sitting back but were looking dangerous whenever they used Dumornay's pace. Somehow, England managed to overcome the situation at the later stages of the game and clinched a narrow victory in their opening game.
