In all fairness, England were fancied to go all the way but found the Spanish women a daunting prospect. It was all Spain for most parts of the game as they launched endless waves of attacks into England territory but were thwarted by a solid defence that could have made the margin more emphatic. A magnificent strike from Olga Carmona in the 29th minute which whizzed into the right corner of the net was the difference in a tightly contested game. England missed what seemed like a gettable equaliser in front of the Spanish goal. But it was ...

In a frenetic game that ebbed and flowed with no ...
