Spain’s women’s football team secured a significant victory over England with a 4-0 win at Mallorca Son Moix Stadium. This win puts Spain on par with England at 12 points, positioning them well for direct qualification to the World Cup in Brazil. Spain can clinch their spot in the World Cup without a play-off if they defeat Iceland in their upcoming match.
In a crucial match where head-to-head goals would determine the tiebreaker, Spain needed to win by at least two goals to surpass England in the qualifying group. The host team took the lead in the 19th minute through a deflected shot by Patri Guijarro, leaving the English goalkeeper helpless. Despite efforts from England, Spain maintained their dominance throughout the game.
England’s head coach expressed disappointment at the outcome, acknowledging Spain’s superior performance. The Spanish team continued to press forward, with Alexia Putellas scoring a brace to secure the victory. Aitana Bonmati, returning from injury, played a pivotal role in setting up Spain’s fourth goal, sealing a convincing win for the team.
