Spain Wins Its First Women’s World Cup Title
Spain has won the Women’s World Cup for the first time after beating England 1-0 in the final at Stadium Australia.
Captain Olga Carmona scored in the 29th minute, drilling in from the left of the area after England lost possession in midfield and Spain countered quickly to take advantage in the clash at Stadium Australia.
Spain were awarded a penalty shortly after the hour mark for a handball by midfielder Keira Walsh. However, goalkeeper Mary Earps saved Jennifer Hermoso’s spot kick by diving to her left.
England coach Sarina Wiegman made a number of changes, including bringing on forward Lauren James, but they could not find an equalizer as Spain clung on to win their first major title.
