They tried to score a goal and we didn't get in the moment where we kept the ball really well and could go to their half. Second half we had problems keeping the ball and we made some decisions that made it not easy for ourselves. "The first half we dominated, we had moments where they could counter-attack but we reduced that a bit. "Very happy with three points, with the performance at moments I was happy other moments I wasn't that happy because we were struggling a bit. But we are happy to take the three points."Įngland manager Sarina Wiegman speaking to ITV: Credit to Scotland for how they came out in the second half, they made it really tough for us and were brilliant. "Conceding right on half time wasn't ideal, it makes it a different game going in 2-0 instead of 2-1. Three points to start, we will take that. It is a really tough group with these three opponents and we can go forward with our heads held high, analyse what we can improve and go from there. "It is tournament football at the end of the day, and it is the points on the board that matter. We take that forward now into the next one versus the Netherlands. We knew that it was going to be difficult, but we got the three points that we needed. "Scotland are a fantastic team, we knew that heading into the game, they've got some great technical players and work really well as a team. Two teams in very different positions in terms of coming off the back of the summer. There’s nothing we can do now."Įngland's Rachel Daly speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was a typical rivalry game, England v Scotland. There is a degree of contact from behind. Hopefully we have a decision on another day. On the penalty: “I have seen it very clearly live and I have no questions. In the last minute it was England who were forced to play that side of the game because Scotland was good." There were moments we showed our level but we could still be better on the ball. “I think we showed in the second half we are a team that needs to show our identity which is work hard, go to goal as quick as we can but also we want to have the ball. We had the feeling we could get something out of the game now we can only take the positives and go again on Tuesday. This is the level that Sarina and the players are bringing the game to. “This is the next level of the women’s game. Scotland was brilliant in many other moments, I hope you enjoyed it and this is the kind of performance they can produce. We don’t speak about referees normally but I think it was a clear penalty (on Martha Thomas). We wanted to come here to compete and play and we did in some ways. “We are disappointed because we came here to win. More from Scotland manager Pedro Martinez Losa:
