Liverpool's official international roundup highlights contributions from several women's players in European World Cup qualifying playoffs. Marie Höbinger scored and assisted for Austria, while Jenna Clark, Sara Agrez and Lily Woodham helped their countries advance through the opening round. Further qualification steps still remain.
Positive results in the first playoff round
Austria beat Kosovo 4-0 in Vienna to complete a 6-1 aggregate win. Scotland defeated Czechia 3-2 in Paisley, progressing 5-2 overall. Clark played the full match, Kirsty Maclean appeared late and Sam Kerr remained on the bench.
Agrez assisted Slovenia's opener in a 2-0 win over Türkiye, producing a 5-3 aggregate result. Woodham had direct involvement in two Wales goals as they beat Albania 3-0 and advanced 4-0 overall.
Grace Fisk was a second-half substitute in England's 5-0 win over Greece, making the aggregate score 8-1. Alice Bergström and Beata Olsson were unused substitutes when Sweden beat Lithuania 10-0, completing a 15-0 aggregate victory. Being listed on the bench is distinct from appearing on the field.
Friendlies and U23 football are separate
In friendlies, Fuka Nagano played the opening hour of Japan's 2-1 defeat by Germany in Bremen. Natalia Ramos came on after halftime during Spain's 2-2 draw with the United States. Those matches did not award playoff qualification places.
The roundup also records Mia Enderby starting England U23s' 2-0 loss to Norway in the European U23 competition. The report therefore spans different levels and match types, rather than one shared tournament table or a confirmed World Cup berth for every successful team.
