Anna Nordqvist halved the opening match of the day, while wins for Charley Hull, Carlota Ciganda and Caroline Hedwall - who all feature in the 2019 side - took Liselotte Neumann's team to 14 points and ensured the trophy would return to Europe.

Matthews then registered the winning moment just minutes later, holing a four-footer at the last to claim the half-point required for Europe to retain the cup for the first time ever.
