Spain’s first World Cup championship was clinched as a result of the triumph as well.

The decisive chain of events started when England righted its wrongs. Lucy Bronze lost possession of the ball after racing into a sea of red jerseys in the middle of the field. The ball was controlled by Teresa Abelleira, who swiftly fired a diagonal cross to Mariona Caldentey.
Caldentey, in turn, passed the ball to left defender Carmona, who was overlapping.

Carmona took advantage of the fact that Bronze was out of position to find space behind England central defender Jess Carter and blasted a first-time shot with her left foot that went just beyond the outstretched hand of Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps and into the bottom corner of the net.
