The 2019 Queen Alexandra Exhibition Match, alternatively England Men v England Women, was a football match that took place on 5 August 2019, officially as an exhibition match in honour of the newly-coronated Queen Alexandra, whom was coronated on 1 August 2019, and whom formerly played for the England women's national team from 2015 to 2019. Held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, the match pitted the men's (The Three Lions) and the women's (The Lionesses) England national football team, whom were represented and captained by William Smith and Queen Alexandra respectively.
The match began at 11:30 A.M., with the Lionesses initiating the kick-off. Soon enough, in the 13th minute, Lionesses midfielder, Fran Kirby scored the match's opening goal, giving her side an early 1-0 lead before proceeding to double it at the 31st minute whilst Lionesses forward, Alexandra also scored a goal herself at the 24th minute to initially place the scoreline at 3-0 before Three Lions forward, Harry Kane then scored at the 37th minute to make it 3-1 at half-time. Then, in the second half, the Three Lions, primarily through star forward, William Smith went on to stage a successful comeback that culminated in a hat-trick by Smith in the 76th minute, thereby allowing them to narrowly win the match 4-3 in the end despite falling short in both possession and the number of shots attempted.
