The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup came to an end on Sunday morning with the Spain senior Women’s team emerging champions after defeating England in Sydney, Australia.
Olga Carmona‘s goal made the difference between the two teams and, although England rallied in the second half after Spain missed a penalty to double its lead, ultimately, the brave Lionesses could not find the back of the net.
It could have been an even more comfortable win for Spain as England goalkeeper Mary Earps came up huge with several acrobatic saves throughout the match.
Enroute to Final England won all its games while Spain lost 4-0 to Japan in the group stage but still found a way to reach the finals.
