Far superior to their opponents, the Iberians did not have to force their talent to win on Friday (3-0).
There was no match. In what has turned out to be the most unbalanced duel of this World Cup so far, Spain gave Costa Rica no favors in Wellington on Friday 21 July. With the exception of a missed penalty by Jennifer Hermoso, when the score was already sealed, the teammates ofAitana Bonmati settled current affairs in six minutes. First by an own goal of Valeria del Campo (21st), then by Aitana Bonmati (23rd) precisely, and finally by Esther Gonzalez Rodriguez (27th). What start the competition in the best way.
Unlike the 2015 World Cup, where the two teams left with a score of parity (1-1), Spain this time took the upper hand in large widths. Beyond the score which leaves no room for doubt, the figures of the match make you dizzy. Not content with depriving their opponents of the ball (77% possession of the ball), La Roja mostly hit the goal 45 times against a single shot for the Ticas.
