Breaking! Lauren James Apologizes To Alozie

OpenLife Nigeria reports that Lauren James, one of the England players in the ongoing women world cup has apologized to Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie over her unprofessional conduct on the field of play

During the match, England survived a major scare to beat Nigeria 4-2 on penalties and sneak through to a World Cup quarter-final against Colombia or Jamaica following a goalless draw.

Bethany England, Rachel Daly, Alex Greenwood and Chloe Kelly all scored in Brisbane as England survived the sending off of Lauren James in normal time to progress.

Georgia Stanway and Desire Oparanozie sent their opening sides penalties wide of the post before Michelle Alozie also missed the target for Nigeria to leave England in control.

James was sent off for a reckless stamp with four minutes of the 90 remaining, planting her studs on the back of Alozie.

She was initially shown a yellow card but it was changed to a straight red after referee Melissa Borjas checked her pitch-side monitor on the recommendation of the VAR.
The action generated unpleasant reactions across the globe.

On Tuesday, Lauren James apologised to Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie for her red card the day before and has promised to learn from the experience.
