Spain win their first ever Womens World Cup with a gutsy 1-0 victory over England; Olga Carmona broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, but Aitana Bonmati and Salma Paraluello were just as essential to La Rojas cause; Lauren Hemp came closest to fashioning an equaliser for the Lionesses.
Coll made her moments count and had her defence to thank for only having to thwart a handful of shots. What more can you ask for?Batlle was the pivot from which all of Spain's attacking triangles of possession unfurled. It seems ridiculous that Manchester United let her go to Barcelona as she showed a taste of what her attacking powers looked like in peak mode.Parades marshalled the left flank well and kept Russo in check - another of Spain's quietly fabulous stars.
Teresa Albelleira was one of the chasing pack that kept Spain's midfield press ticking along. A crucial addition, if anything.Hermoso must have seen the future flashing before her eyes as she watched Earps swallow up her underwhelming penalty kick. But even with that miss looming over her head, she played with a freedom that could not be contained.Caldentey gave Bronze too much to handle, flashing passes through the left flank and then driving with the ball in other instances.
