    GOAL - England 2-0 Ukrainepublished at 20:36 BST

    Georgia Stanway (37 mins)

    There's the second!

    Alessia Russo makes the run between the centre half and full-back so Keira Walsh can find her. Russo then squares a lovely ball for Georgia Stanway to prod home.

    So, Spain are winning as we told you earlier but it's still only 1-0...

    Trevor, qualifiers are a bit complicated but only winners of League A groups qualify directly. Everyone else goes to the playoffs. We were seeded 6th so were going to be drawn with Spain, Germany, France or Sweden.

    And once again, England go short with the corner and Keira Walsh's delivery is gathered by Kateryna Boklach.

    Another England corner...

    England 1-0 Ukraine

    A lapse in concentration as Keira Walsh gives the ball away deep in her own half. Tanya Boychuk picks the ball up on the edge of the box, turns and hits a weak effort at Hannah Hampton.

    England should be 3-0 or 4-0 up. They have missed big chances. That will probably be the only thing frustrating Sarina Wiegman as the rest of the performance has been decent.

    Georgia Stanway picks out Laura Blindkilde Brown's run into the box. There's a great challenge in there but it falls to Alessia Russo, who balloons it over the top.

    Le Tissier got it all wrong. I think she was thinking about that first ever goal for England and she was leaning back, so it sailed over the bar. She will be really disappointed. She’s a defender but still, you’d expect a player of that quality to hit the target or make the goalkeeper work.

    Normal service is resumed as England win it back and off Lauren Hemp goes. She reaches the byline and is given the slightest push to send her crashing into the advertising boards.

    Ouch.

    Better from Ukraine as they win the ball in the midfield and knock it about for the first time in the game.

    Maya Le Tissier will be absolutely kicking herself. She has to fight for appearances for England and there won't be many better chances to score!

    Lovely stuff from Niamh Charles to beat a player before picking out Maya Le Tissier in the box but she fires her effort over the top.

    Chance, that.

    England are given another free-kick deep in the Ukraine half. They take it short and Lauren Hemp must think she's about to score but Maryna Shainiuk puts in a great challenge.

    There's a very healthy crowd in the Hill Dickinson Stadium tonight and they're loving what they're seeing from England at the moment.
