The match began with Argentina's women's team building a solid defense, continuing the calm rhythm from their opening match against Japan. However, the turning point came in the 61st minute. England seized a brilliant counter-attack opportunity. Beth Mead delivered a threatening low cross from the left, precisely tearing through the opponent's center-backs' defense and creating an excellent scoring chance for the advancing Jodie Taylor. Taylor calmly slotted the ball home, successfully breaking the deadlock.
Later, Jill Scott nearly extended the lead, but her header from an Alex Greenwood cross went slightly wide.
