Spain has won the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, defeating England 1-0 in the final game.It's Spain's first-ever Women's World Cup win, and both teams' first time in the final.
Both teams were playing in a Women’s World Cup final for the first time in the history-making game. But it was Spain, in only their third Women's World Cup tournament, who proved the victors on the night.Starting strong, Spain led heavily on possession in the game’s first 45 minutes. The Spanish team’s Olga Carmona scored the first goal of the game 29 minutes in, with a powerful strike by the defender passing England goalkeeper Mary Earps and flying into the net.
An hour into play time and Spain's Alba Redondo was also subbed out, with Oihane Hernández stepping in from the bench. A minute later, Spanish midfielder Aitana Bonmatí kicked a soaring strike towards the England net but the ball was slightly too high, hitting the top bar.Spain was awarded a penalty shot in the 68th minute after it was ruled that England's Keira Walsh's hand had touched the ball. Spain's Jenni Hermoso took the shot, with Earps comfortably blocking.
A collision shortly afterwards between Spain's Salma Paralluelo and England's Alex Greenwood resulted in a forehead injury for Greenwood and a yellow card for Paralluelo. With her head bandaged up, Greenwood returned to the pitch, continuing play.
