BRISBANE, Australia — The champions of Europe had to struggle for a 1-0 win over Haiti, fending off Melchie Dumornay’s forays through the England defense and Kerly Theus’ athletic saves in its Women’s World Cup debut on Saturday.
They went within inches of an equalizer, only for England goalkeeper Mary Earps to make a crucial reflex save in the 81st in a close-range, one-on-one with substitute forward Roseline Éloissaint.Dumornay was threatening on the counter and missed with her first real opportunity, narrowly failing to connect with a cross from the right in the 35th as she attempted a bicycle kick from inside the area.
England hasn’t scored a goal in open play since the win over Brazil in the Finalissma in April, and would have have been expecting a more polished display.Stanway said the most important thing was the three points. The addition of Lauren James and Rachel Daly off the bench added energy and edge to the England attack over the last half hour but it didn’t result in more goals.
Endo then scored in the 71st minute, finding herself alone on the left side of goalkeeper Catherine Musonda’s goal and slotting home a left-footed strike.
