Spain wins first Women’s World Cup title with 1-0 win over England

The final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup was held in Sydney, Australia, with the world’s sixth-ranked Spanish women’s football team taking on the world’s fourth-ranked England women’s football team, and Spain eventually won the title 1-0, becoming the fifth team to win the Women’s World Cup, and Spain became the second country to win both the Men’s World Cup and Women’s World Cup, following Germany (the German men’s football team had won the World Cup in 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014, and German women’s football won the World Cup in 2003 and 2007. Spain’s men’s football team has won the World Cup in 2010 and Spain’s women’s football team won the World Cup for the first time in 2023).

It is worth noting that the Spanish women’s football team is only in its third World Cup proper, having won for the first time in history only in the last Women’s World Cup in France.

The Women’s World Cup has been going on since 1991 and is now in its ninth edition. The previous eight editions produced four winning teams, with the United States winning four times, Germany crowned twice, and Norway and Japan each winning once. The Women’s World Cup saw the crowning of a new king after 12 years, with Japan becoming the fourth champion in 2011.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Spain’s Carmona fired a low shot into the far corner of the goal, and Spain’s Parralueluelo also hit the post in the first half at the reading stage, while England’s most threatening shot in the first half came from striker Hemp, who hit the crossbar with a shot off a team-mate’s rebound. At half-time, Spain’s women’s football team was leading England’s women’s football team 1-0. At half-time, England brought on Kelly and Lauren James to strengthen the attack, with Laurence returning from a 2-match ban for a stamping offence against Nigeria.

In the second half, an England player committed a handball foul in the penalty area, but the penalty kick taken by Spain’s El Mozo was saved by England’s goalkeeper Upps, and England escaped with a victory.

After 13 minutes of extra time in the second half, Spain withstood England’s last-ditch comeback and eventually won 1-0.
