Beth Mead Wins The Golden Boot: Women's Euro 2022 Golden Boot, Alexandra Popp 2nd

Beth Mead Wins the Golden Boot For Women’s Euro 2022, Alexandra Popp 2nd

On Sunday evening at Wembley Stadium, England forward Beth Mead had three awards to lift.

In addition to taking home the UEFA European Women’s Football Championship trophy, Mead earned the Euro 2022 Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament honors.

It’s official. Beth Mead is the leading Women’s Euro 2022 Golden Boot scorer after two matches, with two goals and no one else has scored as many as her. And that’s not because she was on a hat-trick during either game!

Despite not scoring in England’s 2-1 victory over Germany in the final, the Arsenal forward finished as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals.

Mead had three assists during Euro 2022, whereas Alexandra Popp of Germany ended with six goals. The lack of assists by Popp, however, was used as the official tie-breaker.

Mead was subbed off with an injury after 64 minutes of the final. Chloe Kelly, who scored the winning goal in extra time, replaced her.

Lina Magull scored an equalizing goal late in the game to force extra time after Ella Toone lobbed for the game-opening goal.

Beth Mead Wins the Golden Boot — Megan Mead was awarded the Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament trophies after helping the United States win UEFA Women’s Euro 2022.

With England’s 5-1 win over Russia in their quarter final on Wednesday, it means that Alexandra Popp remains the only other player to score so far.

So who will finish second? The game started with both teams trying to get their offensive tactics right against the opposition.

But England was the team making most of the opportunities and they made them count: Nikita Parris finished her second chance after a shot just outside of the box was saved by a defender at 45 degrees.

The same defender used for target practice conceded another under no pressure from Ellen White who crossed for Parris to finish again.

Parris completed her hattrick with 43 minutes on the clock thanks to an assist from Nikita Henry; Popp had assisted Henry for Germany’s first.

Women’s Euro 2022: Beth Mead wins the Golden boot

Beth Mead Wins the Golden Boot

Beth Mead wins Golden Boot for the Women’s Euro 2022 , but don’t let that lead you to think she’s scored the most goals in this tournament.

She’s just scored the most goals that have counted. England forward was in fine form at the start of this tournament but missed her chances in the semi-final. This time, she took no chances and scored both goals in Wednesday’s quarter-final against Russia.

Mead took one touch to control a pass and then a second to finish with a low shot to the left corner. She scored her second from another low shot from outside the box after her first shot was blocked. Mead will get two more chances to score before the tournament ends: she’s the only player with two goals so far, so if she scores again she’ll almost certainly be the leading scorer.

Women’s Euro 2022 Golden Boot Runner-Up: Alexandra Popp

Alexandra Popp was badly missed in the semi-final against Norway, but it was a different story in this quarter-final against England.

The German forward bagged her first goal of the tournament thanks to a precise cross from Sara Doorsoun. Popp’s second goal took this quarter-final to a whole new level.

She picked the ball up in the middle of the park, looked to her right and played a perfect pass to Leonie Maier who was in space on the right and finished the move with a beautiful curling finish into the top right corner.

Popp still has one more game to score again and win the Women’s Euro 2022, Golden Boot. She has five shots on goal so far in the tournament and has earned 10 corners. This performance was arguably better than her four goals against France during the group stage.

Other scorers

There is one other player who scored two goals in the quarter-finals. Leonie Maier scored two for Germany against England. But these two were not enough to take the Germans into the semi-finals.

Two players scored two in the group stage. Simone Sasia scored two for Italy against Croatia and Susanne Muhling scored two for Denmark against Spain. Both teams were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

There was one player who scored two in the semi-finals. Jennifer Hermoso scored two for France against Norway. Hermoso’s team might have lost the game, but she still has a chance to win the Women’s Euro 2022, Golden Boot.

How was the Betting on the Women’s Euro 2022 Golden Boot winner

Beth Mead Wins the Golden Boot

It looked like Beth Mead would have w0n the Women’s Euro 2022 Golden Boot at some point in the previous few days. But there’s an outside chance it would have been awarded to another player depending on the result of the semi-final between England and France.

England’s goals have all come against Russia who has been less than spectacular in the tournament. If England wins the semi-final then Mead will almost certainly finish top of the scoring charts.

And if France would have won the semi-final, the Golden Boot would have gone to Hermoso who scored two in the semi-final against Denmark.

If France and England both score two in their semi-finals then the Golden Boot will probably be awarded to both. But if only one team scores two then the other team is likely to win the Golden Boot.

My thoughts

The Women’s Euro 2022 Golden Boot could only be decided in one of two ways. Either both teams in the final score two goals or one team wins in a low-scoring game.

In the latter case, finally Beth Mead wins the Golden Boot for UEFA Women’s Euro 2022.
