Wembley Stadium witnessed a sensational performance from the England women’s national football team on Friday, May 30, 2025, as they emphatically defeated Portugal 6-0 in the UEFA Women’s Nations League. The Lionesses showcased a vibrant attacking display, leaving players and management alike “happy” with the commanding victory.
The standout performer of the night was young forward Aggie Beever-Jones, who netted a first-half hat-trick on her Wembley debut for England. Her goals came in the 3rd, 26th, and 33rd minutes, demonstrating her clinical finishing and sharp movement. Lucy Bronze (5′) and Beth Mead (29′) also contributed to the five-goal first-half blitz, while substitute Chloe Kelly added a sixth in the 62nd minute to complete the rout.
The victory was a crucial one for Sarina Wiegman’s side, who were looking to bounce back from a recent defeat to Belgium. The win keeps England firmly in contention for the top spot in Group A3 of the Nations League, setting up a decisive clash against world champions Spain next week.
Speaking after the match, players expressed their delight. Chloe Kelly, who scored the sixth goal, called it an “amazing night at Wembley with our fans and a great team performance.” She also praised Beever-Jones, stating, “Aggie is unbelievable. She’s on fire at the minute.”
Head coach Sarina Wiegman echoed the sentiment, stating she was “really happy” with the “important” win. She highlighted the team’s strong start and their ability to adapt to Portugal’s changing tactics. Wiegman also noted the valuable minutes gained by returning players like Alex Greenwood, Lauren Hemp, and Georgia Stanway, who all featured in the match.
The dominant performance showcased England’s depth and attacking prowess, sending a clear message to their European rivals ahead of Euro 2025. While the focus now shifts to the critical match against Spain, the resounding victory over Portugal has undoubtedly lifted the mood within the England camp and delighted their supporters.
