England have qualified for Euro 2025 after a goalless draw against Sweden and Sarina Wiegman has expressed her relief.
Reigning champions England finished second in Group A3 and earned a hard-fought point to avoid a play-off scenario for qualification.
Speaking to ITV, the England boss said: “I’m happy and very relieved because indeed it was a tough game and again, two different phases. Lucy Bronze had a powerful effort saved by Zecira Musovic in the second half before the momentum shifted in Sweden’s favour and Filippa Angeldal nearly caught Hannah Hampton out with a shot from distance.
“We couldn’t play the football we wanted to play in the second half, which put us under a lot of pressure, so I’m happy to see the game out because it could’ve gone differently.
