Beever-Jones was a threat against Australia almost immediately as she came inches from getting on the end of a Beth Mead cross after just three minutes.
She was offside when she lobbed goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold minutes later, but finally got on the scoresheet when Russo was brought down by Alanna Kennedy – the Australia defender receiving a red card – and Beever-Jones netted from the resulting free-kick.
The 22-year-old continued to cause problems before she was forced off prematurely, picking up a knock with less than 10 minutes left.
“She was so bright. She was making really good runs and making herself a nuisance,” said former England defender Anita Asante on ITV.
“She was also asking questions of Sarina because I’m sure she wants to play every single minute she can for England.”
Beever-Jones only played 74 minutes during their success in Switzerland, coming off the bench twice and starting once – an experience which taught her how to react to the disappointment of not being selected and how to manage those emotions.
“I’m always a believer in timing. I look back to the Euros and yeah, I wish I could have played more, I wish I could have helped more,” she told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“But for me, as soon as it ended I thought, ‘right, go back to my club, smash it, do what you can do and hit the ground running’.”
Beever-Jones did just that and has scored four goals in six WSL matches, leading to many calling for her to start this week’s friendlies.
She played 27 minutes as a second-half substitute in Saturday’s defeat by Brazil, but Wiegman gave her the opportunity against Australia out wide and was pleased with what she saw.
“[Beever-Jones and Russo] have played together before. I think we have three players who can play at centre-forward and all three are good and very different,” said Wiegman.
“Aggie can also play on the sides. That is what you saw today, that she is very agile and quick with the ball which can help the team.”
Chelsea team-mate Ellie Carpenter was part of the opposition’s backline and aware of Beever-Jones’ threat.
She has taken on the regular number nine spot at Chelsea with Australia forward Sam Kerr still returning to full fitness and an injury to Mayra Ramirez.
Former England striker Ian Wright told ITV that Beever-Jones has “the right attitude” by taking her opportunities and waiting patiently for them.
“She can play in the nine and also out wide. She has every attribute to be a world-class striker,” club-mate Carpenter added.
“She is hard to defend against. I’m happy for her that she got more minutes tonight and has shown why she can be a regular starter for England.”
