Time to sign off; I’ll leave you with Sophie Downey’s match report from the Pinatar Arena. ¡Adios!

Sarina Wiegman speaks! “Did we do enough to win? No, because we didn’t! We tried enough – we did a lot to score that second goal, but it didn’t go in.”

On the equaliser: “It’s disappointing, but these things happen sometimes, and when it happens to the goalkeeper, then it’s a goal. As a team, we had to score another goal, and that’s what we tried to do.

Asked about Rachel Daly and the No 9 role: “We have a number of players for that role, we have a lot of options.” She namechecks Russo, Ebony Salmon and Lauren James as those options.

On her unbeaten year: “Very nice, although I’m a little disappointed with this game. It’s really incredible what has happened since last September, and we have a lot of players making debuts now. We got a lot of information from these games, to get ready for the World Cup.”
