Four pages of pictures and results from the April 2022 World Cup qualifying window, group by group. Northern Ireland travel to Austria full of hope and are three down inside ten mad minutes after Carina Wenninger’s opener, Joely Andrews getting a late consolation. Scotland lose 2-0 to Spain at Hampden in front of a record 7,804, both goals from Jenni Hermoso, in a much-improved display. Wales follow a narrow defeat by France in Llanelli with a 3-0 win in Kazakhstan and move second. Katie McCabe puts the Republic of Ireland ahead in Gothenburg before Kosovare Asllani levels for a valuable point, and Serbia inflict Germany’s first away qualifying defeat since 1998. England, unbeaten and yet to concede in Europe, win 5-0 at a sold-out Windsor Park.
