The centered ball fell all the way to the back post, where Redondo was catching up, in front of which there was an empty goal, but the Spanish striker aimed straight at the Earps goalkeeper.
The more active Spaniards finally got their start in the 29th minute, when captain Carmonová opened the scoring with a shot at the far post. Spain could have taken a two-goal lead into the break when Paralluel’s shot hit the post in stoppage time.
After the change of sides, England were again held back by Earps, who had to reach for Caldentey’s well-placed attempt.
Read more Messi is like from another planet, he is crazy in the USA. With Miami, he won his first trophy, scored in the final and also converted a penalty
After an hour of play, Earps also faced a penalty kick on Walsh’s arm. Hermosová placed the ball on the white spot, but she did not kick her attempt perfectly, moreover, Earpsová caught the direction of the shot and neutralized the penalty.
The English women had up to 13 additional minutes to equalize, but they were unable to develop more continuous pressure and the Spanish women enjoyed winning the premier title.
