England Women's Team Edges South Africa 2-1

England women's national football team secured a narrow 2-1 victory against South Africa, but head coach Sarina Wiegman expressed concerns over her team's sloppiness, particularly in the second half. The Lionesses started strong with first-half goals from Leah Williamson and Grace Clinton, but a mistake from Williamson allowed South Africa's Thembi Kgatlana to score, making the match tense. Wiegman noted that while the first half was promising, the team's performance diminished after halftime, leading to struggles against South Africa's counter-attacks. Grace Clinton, who scored her second goal in four appearances, highlighted the quality of the South African team and expressed confidence in her own performance. Wiegman emphasized the need for improvement in transition play and maintaining focus in future matches. The win marked a return to form for England after a previous defeat to Germany.
