\nSpain secured their first ever Women\u2019s World Cup title with a 1-0 win over England at the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup final in Sydney on Sunday (20 August).
\nJennifer Hermoso had a penalty saved by Mary Earps, but a first-half goal from Olga Carmona was enough for La Roja to become world champions for the first time in history.
\nThe win marks a historic FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup campaign for Spain who previously failed to make it past the Round of 16. Making it to the final after knockout wins over Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden, was already a first for Spain with the victory in the final cause for an even bigger celebration.

\n\u2022\tLa Roja expertly controlled the game from kick-off, nullifying any attacking threats from the Lionesses.
\n\u2022\tDespite Spain\u2019s dominance, the 2022 European Champions managed an early chance – probably their best of the 90 minutes – but the ball hit the bar.
\n\u2022\tThe missed opportunity struck England hard as they struggled to dismantle Spain\u2019s possession-heavy strategy, while La Roja continued to intimidate in response.
\n\u2022\tEngland\u2019s goalkeeper Mary Earps did well to deny Spain a goal in the 17th minute, pulling off yet another incredible save to keep her side in the game. But it was all in vain as Olga Carmona soon found the back of the net with a thunderous strike on the half-hour mark.
\nThe return of star player Lauren James was not enough for England to win the 2023 Women’s World Cup final against Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
