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.

Second Half:

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.
