The Lionesses had the chance to take the lead from the spot in the 26th minute after Manchester United Women’s star Alex Greenwood was brought down in the box after showing off some lovely footwork.
Lyon forward Nikita Parris stepped up to take the spot-kick, unfortunately for the 25-year-old Argentina stopper Vanina Correa produced a stunning save to push Parris’ effort onto the post, it looked as though England could have scored the rebound but the effort went wide.
