FIH Hockey Women's World Cup 2026, Game 26: England vs Chile | #HWC2026

of the last eight. For Chile, well, they ran Australia so, so close, didn't they? Four all in that game. A comeback from the Chilean team. Talking to their team management after that one here at the Wagner Stadion as we ready ourselves for England versus Chile. Three, two, one. Maybe where no one wanted to end up, but you don't always get what you want. And sometimes, in these things, teams get what they actually need. Here's Equate, picks up the ball early on. Bourne goes into a press with Rea. My name's Dan Strange. Alongside me for this one, Nicky Lloyd, former Scotland player. Now Nicky, free hit. Lifted ball, bouncing through, bouncing up off the stick of Maldonado. Popping inside. And would you? It's gone to Bowne. Sprung into this game, Valdivia's 14th goal. She's played in Germany for the last two years. Chile one, England nil. It's difficult for Hesh there. There's a crash ball in. She's organising her defence, but you do have to think and trust that your defence are going to be touched tight, and England weren't. Penalty corner. Well worked down the left-hand side by Owsley. Fred, I believe, is in watching. He was in yesterday. And French goes across to ask a question as to whether that should be a stroke. And I think she's regretting asking because she's now looking for support from her team. Yeah, she has said the video umpire. Yeah, go ahead, Ayanna. Hi, they're asking for a penalty stroke. I blew a penalty corner for the ball coming off the goalkeeper, so you can take a look for me. Yeah, we'll have a look for you. I think that's a penalty stroke, Nicky. Yeah, decision coming. I'm agreeing with you, Dan. I mean, goalkeepers would say she'll sprawl down and save it with a stick, but let's listen in. I have advice for you. The ball has struck the defender on the line. You can restart with a penalty stroke, and England will keep their referral. There's no issues today for Lily Walker. here is the final score cut. . . Calmly taken by Lily Walker here, . . slots the ball right into the bottom corner. . . . . Green card just about up. . . . They did well to weather that storm . because they were protecting the middle of the pitch. . . . You could hear and see the communication . . and they were able to go forward. . Very difficult ball for Flores. It was bouncing. . . . How did it just come on now? . Rarely if she can find the ball across to Bourne. . . . She does and Bourne scores from open play. . . . . We said, could she find that impact today in front of goal, in either open play or the top of the circle on her 50th England appearance. Darcy Bourne does just that. 12th career goal, 11 of them come for England. Good tackle, strong tackle from Neal. Question mark coming from Dominique Ananias. Heel. Owsley. Curtis, lovely touch in front as Bourne got that one, too. That was definitely a deflection. And like London buses, one brings two for England. Here we go. Nine seconds left. Jacksonville, Peel, one way, the other way, pops it, Howard, dummies, and then, oh, into the player penalty corner given. Thank you very much, David. Always travelling. Thank you. Better from England, though, you see the numbers they've got forward, they've got a player on the left and the right post as well, better structure in the D. Green, Tony, as well. From Thompson, I like it when she picks up the ball and drives inside, but she had no passing option. Bingham is through. There's no one at home, and Lottie Bingham gets in the goals for England, and surely now seals the deal against Chile. It was a nice cold start for England, another wake-up call, but with three minutes 28 left, Lottie Bingham through. Player of the match against India yesterday to score her first World Cup goal. I think Chile started out really well, obviously they took the lead in this game, but their fitness, their decision making, and we're just going to see Ellie Raya as she chases towards the ball. Salvador going on the reverse, again unconventional, but her, from her. But it works. He comes back to the conversation we had about her style, her energy. She does things differently. Well, a different result today for England. Thank you, Glenn. They get the win. They bounce back after that quick turnaround and the disappointment of the draw with India on it. Darcy Bourne's 50th English cap. Cheers. Chile started so stunningly, taking the lead. Cristobal Rodriguez's team on four minutes. Through Valdivia, but once England found a way back into the game very quickly from the penalty spot with Walker and then Bourne and Bourne in quick succession just before half-time.
