Lionesses roared on by THE Lionesses

Pride Park’s under 10 Lionesses were at Wembley on Thursday night to see the other Lionesses in action - as UEFA Women's EURO 2022 victors England took on CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina 2022 winners Brazil in the first Women's Finalissima.

The Girls were part of an enthusiastic Wembley crowd of 83,132 who saw Chloe Kelly hold her nerve to fire the winning spot kick as European champions England claimed the trophy following a tense encounter after a late goal by Brazil levelled the score at 1-1 (after Ella Toone had put England ahead in the first half) and sent the game to penalties.

Our Lionesses loved their Wembley experience. Emily and Iysla said: „It was great to watch the Lionesses in action. They showed resilience even when faced with a penalty shoot out after keeping the score 1-0 until extra time. We watched the warm-up before the match carefully to pick up some tips and can't wait to put this into action in our matches. We loved it!”

Frankster said: „I loved Wembley, meeting up with my teammates and spotting them in the stands. I also absolutely loved seeing my goalkeeping idols in action in the warm up beforehand.”
