General NewsSpainSpain National Soccer TeamSportsWomen's World Cup Spain wins its first Women’s World Cup title, beating England 1-0 in the final by Michael Nguyen August 20, 2023 written by Michael Nguyen August 20, 2023 0 comments Bookmark 56 Spain secured its inaugural Women’s World Cup title, triumphing over England 1-0 in the final match on Sunday, thanks to Olga Carmona’s goal in the first half. This landmark victory came less than twelve months after a player revolt and allowed Spain to become the first nation to simultaneously possess the under-17, under-20, and senior world titles. They also became the fifth country to win the Women’s World Cup and join Germany as the only nations to have won both the men’s and women’s tournaments. Upon the game’s conclusion, the Spanish players jubilantly celebrated on the field, their joy continuing into the trophy presentation. The celebrations were filled with hugs, dances, kisses on the trophy, and triumphant gestures as golden glitter rained down on them. The defeat was a tough blow for England’s Lionesses, who had hoped to capture their first World Cup since the men’s team victory in 1966. Their pursuit continues as they reflect on the loss, which the captain, Millie Bright, admitted was disappointing but something to be proud of in the future. Olga Carmona’s 29th-minute left-foot strike, her significant goal in the tournament, proved decisive. Spain even had an opportunity to extend their lead, but Mary Earps saved Jenni Hermoso’s penalty attempt. Spain’s triumph was all the more remarkable considering the internal turmoil the team experienced the previous year, with some players temporarily stepping away, citing mental health concerns and the desire for a more professional environment. England, despite missing some key players due to injury, had strong momentum after winning the European Championship. Their coach, Sarina Wiegman, unfortunately, fell to 0-2 in World Cup finals, having also lost in 2019. The final game had its share of close calls and excitement, including Lauren Hemp’s near goals and Mary Earps’ stellar goalkeeping. Spain’s coach Jorge Vilda’s decision-making and utilization of his young talents like Salma Paralluelo were instrumental in their success. Paralluelo’s performance during the tournament earned her the award for young player of the tournament, while Earps and Aitana Bonmati won the Golden Glove and Golden Ball respectively. Spain’s triumph was not without its challenges, as two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas was recovering from a torn ACL. Her emotional entry towards the end of the match and her subsequent tears of joy were poignant moments that encapsulated the team’s journey. The final match was attended by a massive crowd of 75,784 at Stadium Australia, including tennis legend Billie Jean King. Spain’s victory, filled with skill, resilience, and emotion, was a historic achievement that will be remembered in the annals of women’s football.
