The gripping encounter was a fitting conclusion to a tournament in Australia and New Zealand which has broken records and will be remembered for how the supposed minnows closed the gap on the sides at the top.

SYDNEY -- Spain won the Women's World Cup for the first time in its history with skipper Olga Carmona striking in the first half for a deserved 1-0 victory over England in Sunday's finals, Aug. 20.

Defender Carmona scored what turned out to be the winner, rampaging from left-back to thrash the ball in low and hard on 29 minutes past England goalkeeper Mary Earps. England coach Sarina Wiegman has now suffered back-to-back defeats in the final, and her European champions can have few complaints. She admitted that Spain, who had never won a World Cup knockout game until this tournament, were the better team.
