In a match that felt more like a fireworks display than a football game, Alessia Russo finally found the back of the net, scoring her first goal of Euro 2025. And what a goal it was! As England’s fourth against Wales, it was the cherry on top of a first-half performance that left fans in St. Gallen and across the globe absolutely buzzing.

Her strike was a thing of beauty, a perfect blend of power and precision that left the Welsh goalkeeper looking like she was trying to catch a greased pig. It was a moment that had the English fans singing her name louder than a pub full of karaoke enthusiasts on a Friday night.
England’s manager, Sarina Wiegman, must have been grinning like a Cheshire cat on the sidelines. Her team was playing with the kind of flair and confidence that makes you wonder if they’ve been secretly training with a samba band. The first half was a masterclass in attacking football, with England’s players moving the ball around with the kind of ease that makes you think they might have been born with it glued to their feet.
As for Wales, they were left chasing shadows, looking like they were trying to catch a particularly elusive bus. But let’s not take anything away from England’s performance. This was a team playing with the kind of swagger that makes you want to dust off your old football boots and join in the fun.
In the end, Russo’s goal was more than just a number on the scoreboard. It was a testament to her perseverance and skill, a reward for her tireless efforts on the pitch. And as the final whistle blew, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that this was a night to remember for England and their fans.
So, here’s to Alessia Russo and the entire England squad. May they continue to light up the tournament with their dazzling play and keep us all on the edge of our seats. After all, in the world of football, there’s nothing quite like watching a team in full flight, and England is soaring higher than ever.
