Spain 1-0 England in Womens World Cup Final 2023
Spain have beaten the England Lionesses to win their first ever World Cup
In a matchup that divided loyalties of Hispanophile English and Brits living in Spain, the Spanish Selección Feminina beat England’s Lionesses in the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 in Sydney this Sunday August 20.
It was a close-run match, with Spain’s Olga Carmona scoring an early goal in the 29th minute to give the Spanish a lead that they hung on to doggedly for the next hour.
They even had a chance to get another in the second half when England gave away a penalty with a handball in the box, but England keeper Earps managed to save the spot-kick by Hermoso.
The match ran long with a total of 13 minutes of injury time in the second half to make up for Alex Greenwood’s treatment for a head injury she sustained, but the Lionesses were unable to equalise and eventually full time was blown on a World Cup final that hand fans around the world riveted.
Fans in Spain have already begun the celebrations, tooting car horns loudly and cheering in bars for the win by their side, La Roja, the Reds.
In the match for third place on Saturday, Sweden beat competition co-hosts Australia 2-0.
Regardless of the outcome, and as cheesy as it sounds, the real winner from this competition has been women’s football as a whole. This has been the most watched Female World Cup in history, and the prevailing feeling is that it will go a long way to securing more respect and acceptance for the sport amongst the general public.
