6 Jun
Summary
- Spain delivered Sarina Wiegman's worst defeat as England manager.
- England failed to record a single shot on goal during the match.
- The Lionesses' automatic World Cup qualification is now uncertain.
Spain achieved a resounding 4-0 victory against England, marking the most significant defeat for Sarina Wiegman during her tenure as manager. The European champions were comprehensively outplayed in Mallorca, leaving their automatic qualification for next summer's World Cup uncertain.
From the outset, Spain dictated the tempo, cutting through England's defense with ease. Patricia Guijarro opened the scoring in the 19th minute, followed by a second goal from Alexia Putellas just before halftime. Putellas further extended Spain's lead early in the second half, capitalizing on defensive errors.
Substitute Claudia Pina sealed the decisive win, putting Spain in a strong position to qualify directly for the World Cup. England, unable to muster a shot on target, now faces a challenging path, relying on other results and potential playoff matches to secure their World Cup berth.
