Spain beat England 1-0 to win first Women’s World Cup title

Al Jazeera  

Captain Olga Carmona scores the only goal as Spain beat England 1-0 to win the Women’s World Cup in Sydney, Australia. Captain Olga Carmona scored the winner in the first half as Spain won the Women’s World Cup for the first time, beating England 1-0 in the final. The first Women’s World Cup final not to feature either the United States or Germany started at quite a pace with England just about enjoying the upper hand in the battle of two first-time finalists. Officials indicated 13 minutes of injury time at the end, but if anything, it was Spain who looked the more likely to score as England’s dreams of a first World Cup melted away.
