Summary
WHAT a performance from England! A jubilant Chloe and delighted (but knackered) Rachel recap a brilliant night for the Lionesses who delivered when it really mattered against the Netherlands.
Elsewhere, Wales suffered a tough loss to France but there were so many positives for Rhian Wilkinson’s side to draw on. We get stuck into those matches and look ahead to tonight, where we’ve got our first qualification shootout of the tournament!
This episode is dedicated to Sue Klesniks, a beloved figure in both the Upfront and wider women’s football community. Our thoughts are with Sue’s family and friends.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Up Front. I'm Chloe Morgan. |
| 0:11.0 | And I'm Rachel Sullivan. What a performance from England! Some amazing goals and great intensity earned. |

| 1:12.0 | booth in my office talking about today. England 4-0. It was just everything I think that |
| 1:19.1 | England fans needed. And before we get stuck into the game, I think a massive, massive credit |
