England fly into the Women’s World Cup final against Spain on Sunday
England-Spain. This will be the challenge in the Women’s World Cup final. The British girls triumphed in the semi-final played in Melbourne against the native Australia, with the result 3-1.
England opened the scoring in the 36th minute of the game, through Ella Toone. The tournament hosts’ response came in the second half with Samantha Kerr, whose shot deflected wide enough to send the keeper offside.
The draw did not demoralize the English, who scored two more times in the space of 5 minutes of play, with Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.
Spain will play their first major tournament final, while England Women also qualify for the World Cup final for the first time in their history. The advantage of the British is experience, as they are the reigning European champions.
The England-Spain final will be played in Sydney at noon on Sunday. Meanwhile, the third-place final between Sweden and Australia will take place on Saturday morning in Brisbane.
