England ease to second World Cup qualifying win

Last Updated : 08-Mar-2026 by Three Lions

Sarina Wiegman's side have six points from six after a 2-0 victory over Iceland at a sold-out City Ground in Nottingham on Saturday, goals from Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway seeing off a well-organised visiting side.

Bronze was winning her 145th international cap and earned the praise of head coach Wiegman after the game as someone who plays a 'big role in the team' and also an 'incredible human being'.

England end the first international window of the year with the two qualifying wins they would have expected to gain, ahead of a Wembley clash with world champions Spain in April.

Their seven unanswered goals against Ukraine and Iceland gives them a slight edge over the Spanish side, who followed up a 3-0 victory over Iceland with a 3-1 triumph in their designated away game with Ukraine.
