England vs. Spain, FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023: ESP defeated ENG in their first FIFA Women’s World Cup final.
Women’s World Cup 2023 Final, England vs. Spain: Spain defeated England 1-0 in the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday. This was due to a strong effort from the left wing by Olga Carmona in the first half, which beat England goalkeeper Mary Earps. Carmona, a left back, has scored in both of Spain’s World Cup games. This World Cup, Spain has a tournament-high 18 goals.
Shortly after the hour mark, Spain was given a penalty for a handball by midfielder Keira Walsh. Goalkeeper Mary Earps, on the other hand, saved Jennifer Hermoso’s penalty kick by diving to her left. Sarina Wiegman, England’s coach, made many changes, including bringing on attacker Lauren James, but they were unable to produce an equalizer as Spain won their first major title.
With this victory, Spain became only the second country after Germany to win both the men’s and women’s World Cups.
