📝 Spain come up against the woodwork and Hemp at Wembley

England took an early lead thanks to a Hemp goal from a corner in the 3rd minute. Despite the early setback, Spain responded by looking to control possession and creating danger through Paredes and Ona Batlle.

Sonia Bermúdez’s side dominated possession and improved the flow of their play before halftime. However, goalkeeper Hampton and a lack of accuracy prevented chances from Esther and Patri Guijarro from finding the net.

After the restart, the Spanish national team stepped up their attack, hitting the woodwork twice through efforts from Olga Carmona and Vicky López. The match became thrilling and end-to-end, with Spain fully camped in the opposition half.

The coach looked for fresh solutions by bringing on players such as Salma Paralluelo and Edna Imade in an attempt to find an equaliser. Despite the pressure and a late header from Edna that came close to going in, the score remained 1-0.

Spain therefore leave London empty-handed, but with a competitive showing against the home side. The team is already focused on its next match against Ukraine, which will be played this Saturday, 18 April, in Córdoba.
