Spain have defeated England’s Lionesses to win the women’s soccer World Cup.
Despite a missed penalty, the victorious Spanish team took the trophy after winning 1-0, the difference being a first half goal by Olga Carmona, who finished smartly following a loose run by England’s Lucy Bronze.
England felt like favorites going into the 70,000 sellout game in Melbourne but Spain dominated throughout and had more chances. They failed to convert good semi-final form onto the biggest stage and England’s long wait for a first World Cup final win continues, although England did win the Euros last year. King Charles and his son Prince William had earlier wished the Lionesses good luck via video messages.
The players were nervy at the start but Spain played the better football in the first half and it wasn’t overly surprising when Carmona scored, with England completely losing their shape.

Sydney, July 28 (Ians) European champions England edged Denmark 1-0 on Friday, inching closer to the knockout stage of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup.
However, the victory in Sydney may have come with a significant toll for the Lionesses, viewed as title favorites. Star player Keira Walsh seemed to sustain a severe knee injury just before halftime.
The Barcelona midfielder twisted awkwardly while trying to intercept a pass, and she was visibly distressed as she was stretchered off the field, a Xinhua report said.
After a lackluster 1-0 opening win against Haiti, where a penalty kick was the only differentiator, there were doubts about England’s ability to put points on the board. But a proactive England responded to the critics with a high-energy start, punctuated in the sixth minute by a remarkable goal from Lauren James, who shot a bullet from outside the box.
