The Spanish women’s national football team delivered an impressive performance in Palma de Mallorca, decisively defeating their longstanding rivals, England, with a score of 4-0. This victory propels Spain to the top of their qualifying group, leaving them just one match away from securing their position.
The match mirrored the recent World Cup and European Championship finals and began ideally for the home team. Patri Guijarro opened the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the box that deflected off an England defender and found the net. Moments later, Alexia Putellas extended the lead before halftime with a goal assisted by Mariona.
In the second half, Spain’s control of the match became even more evident. Alexia secured her second goal by capitalizing on a rebound within the six-yard box, fully putting England out of contention.
A pivotal step towards South America
The final touch came from Claudia Pina, who scored the fourth goal after a beautifully placed pass from Aitana Bonmatí.
With this victory and the advantage in head-to-head matches, Sonia Bermúdez’s team is now in control of their destiny. A win against Iceland in Reykjavik next Tuesday will secure their spot at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
