In the game There were some struggles from England, they tried to knock down La Roja, but they responded with intimidation. It was smart from Mary Earps to block the goal from Spain but it wasn’t enough to avoid their victory.

In this game England made many changes to their team on the field , such as bringing Lauren James and Chloe Kelly into the game instead of Alessia Russo and Rachel Daly at half time. This made a great impact on Spain’s defense, but they did not give up and put their best in this game.

Spain got an opportunity for a penalty in the 65th minute of the game, but once again Earps said “no way” and blocked that goal. This gave England a new opportunity to do their best and win this game, but pitifully, it was not enough to penetrate Spain’s force.

When victory was declared for Spain, everybody who was in La Roja’s corner were overjoyed by their win, while in England’s corner there were tears of sorrow and sadness because they were hoping to become the country’s first senior soccer world champion since 1966.
