The match took place on 18 November 1972 at Ravenscraig Stadium in Greenock, Scotland. England won the game 3–2, almost exactly a hundred years after the first men's international between the two nations. It was the second international women's match to be granted official status by FIFA, after a meeting between France and Netherlands in April 1971.
