Spain has beaten the three lionesses of England 1-0 to secure women's World Cup glory.
Real Madrid's winger Olga Carmona García netted the lone goal of the encounter on Sunday in Australia to secure the La Roja their first women's world cup trophy in a game that saw Mary Earps save Jennifer Hermoso's penalty.
Both Spain and England were in their first World Cup final and hoping to cap off a remarkable World Cup campaign in style.
Spain looked the better side in the opening half an hour, and Olga Carmona's left-footed strike at the 29th minute made the difference at pause.
Sarina Wiegman's lionesses were second best throughout much of the encounter, and the tactician quickly made a double substitution early in the second segment, with Alessia Russo and Rachel Daly ceding their places to Lauren James and Chloe Kelley, respectively.
