Calliste Brookshire was on the scoresheet for Greece as they faced England in the first leg of their FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying play-off.
Despite a 3-1 defeat to the reigning European champions, the winger gave Greece hope of a late comeback when she pulled a goal back in the 77th minute.
However, the second leg proved a difficult evening for Greece in Leicester as they fell to a 5-0 defeat, bringing their qualifying campaign to an end.
Shu Ohba – Japan

Ohba remained with the national team as they travelled to France to face Haiti in an international friendly. The goalkeeper was an unused substitute as Japan recorded an emphatic 5-1 victory.
Japan then travelled to Germany to face the hosts at the Weserstadion, where they suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat. Ohba was once again an unused substitute.
