Overview
- After a goalless first half, Sarina Wiegman's adjustments produced six goals, with Alessia Russo, Georgia Stanway and Jess Park each scoring twice.
- The match was played in Turkey because Ukraine cannot host at home due to the war with Russia, and England traveled with formal safety assurances.
- Yana Kalinina briefly made it 2-1 before a Stanway penalty won by Lauren Hemp and further finishes sealed a commanding margin.
- Only the group winner advances automatically to Brazil 2027, and England now lead Spain on goal difference ahead of Saturday's game against Iceland in Nottingham.
- Leah Williamson and Lauren James returned to the squad, and Poppy Pattinson made her debut as England managed minutes and rotated options.
