Spain cruised to victory in their Women’s World Cup opener as they dominated Costa Rica in Wellington.
hhh
Valeria del Campo scored an own goal to put Spain ahead, before Aitana Bonmati curled in a second two minutes later.
Esther Gonzalez added a third after a header against the crossbar by Jennifer Hermoso, who then had a penalty saved by Daniela Solera.
Olga Carmona hit the bar and Solera made a number of fine saves to restrict Spain to three goals.
The 3-0 victory sees Spain top Group C.
Zambia will face Japan on Saturday in the other group match.
Ummmm their intensity must be homework & a bone 🦴 to chew for the technical bench while the Chipolopolo girls concentrate on the goal difference & defeating the Japanese eleven (11) in a few hours time.
Ah now we know that Tu Spain will want to make sure because they know Japan is on another level. We need to fight for a 3 points. It is possible, to get six points & crush the party but Spain must fall first.
