Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Spain has won its first Women’s World Cup championship with a 1-0 victory over England.<\/b><\/p>\n

N0. 19 Olga Carmona was the star of the match on Sunday (Aug. 20).<\/p>\n

Her left-foot shot in the 29th minute went into the far corner of the net and just out of reach of diving England goalkeeper Mary Earps.<\/p>\n

Far from Sydney’s Stadium Australia, scenes of jubilation could be seen in Barcelona, Spain.<\/p>\n

Ecstatic fans shouted and celebrated.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s first major international trophy made it the first European team to win the Women’s World Cup since Germany in 2007.<\/p>\n

The win for Spain in just its third World Cup appearance prevented England’s Lionesses \u2014 the reigning European champions \u2014 from bringing the trophy back home.<\/p>\n

Despite second-half subs and saves by England’s goalkeeper including a penalty kick in the 69th minutes and their resolve, the Lionesses didn’t find a way to the Spanish net.<\/p>\n

Spain was the more aggressive team and pressed the entire game.<\/p>\n

Captain and scorer Olga Carmona has a tournament-best 18 goals in this World Cup. The 23 year-old has become just the seventh player in tournament history to score in both the semifinals and the final.<\/p>\n

The la Roja win came after a near mutiny last year when 15 players quit the national team.<\/p>\n

Sweden beat tournament co-host Australia on Saturday to win bronze.<\/p>\n
