England's women's football team witnessed a breakthrough performance from 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang during their Euro 2025 qualifier against France. The young forward, making only her second senior appearance, delivered a dynamic display that left fans and teammates in awe.
Chloe Kelly, England's Euro 2022 hero, was particularly impressed with Agyemang's contribution. "She brought something special to the pitch tonight," Kelly remarked after the match. "Her energy and fearlessness gave us a real boost when we needed it most."
A Star in the Making
Agyemang's introduction in the 64th minute changed the game's complexion, with her direct running and technical ability causing constant problems for France's experienced defence. The Arsenal youngster nearly marked her debut with a goal, forcing a superb save from French goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin.
Key Moments:
- Made immediate impact after coming on in second half
- Completed 100% of her dribbles successfully
- Created two clear chances for teammates
- Earned praise from manager Sarina Wiegman
This performance comes just months after Agyemang helped England's U19 team reach the European Championship final, showcasing her rapid development at international level.
Road to Euro 2025
The qualifier against France marked a crucial step in England's defence of their European crown. While the match ended in a hard-fought draw, Agyemang's emergence provides manager Sarina Wiegman with another exciting attacking option as preparations continue for the tournament in Switzerland.
With the women's game growing exponentially in England, performances like Agyemang's demonstrate the depth of talent coming through the Lionesses' system. As Kelly noted: "The future of English football is in good hands with players like Michelle coming through."
