Spain’s players celebrate as England’s forward #19 Bethany England looks dejected after winning the 2023 Women’s World Cup final football match between Spain and England at Stadium Australia in Sydney. Spain won the Women’s World Cup for the first time in their history with skipper Olga Carmona sweeping in the only goal for a deserved 1-0 victory over England in Sunday’s final.
England coach Sarina Wiegman, who has now suffered back-to-back defeats in the final, and her European champions can have few complaints. “It was a really tough game, we knew it would be tricky, England have a great team, but I think it was our game,” Carmona told Spanish national broadcasters La 1.An emotional Millie Bright, skipper of the Lionesses, said her side had not been at their best as their dreams of a first World Cup melted away.
Alba Redondo then hit a first-time strike straight at goalkeeper Mary Earps with the England goal gaping. Vilda, who recalled three of the 15 mutineers for the World Cup, did not even raise a smile on the sidelines.
