The team takes revenge against Japan (3-1) and wins the first title in the category
Silvia Lloris’ Spanish team has been named under-20 world champion in Costa Rica. In the final, which was played at sunrise in Spain on Monday, Pedro López’s men clearly defeated Japan 3-1. It is Spain’s first title in the category and, moreover, the revenge of four years ago, as the Japanese had the upper hand over Yeclana Eva Navarro’s generation in the last edition. Another success for Spanish women’s football, which continues to grow, and for Lloris. The young centre-back from El Palmar, only 18 years old, has had a wonderful summer: in just a month and a half she became European and world champion.
Spain decided the meeting on the fast track. After half an hour they already won 3-0 thanks to a brace from Salma Paralluelo and a goal from Inma Gabarro, the tournament’s top scorer with 8 goals. From then on, Pedro López’s team relied on their defensive security to win the title. With Silvia Lloris as one of the pillars, the team barely conceded two goals in the entire World Cup. Japan only managed to close the deficit in the 47th minute with a goal from Suzu Amano.
It was an unforgettable summer for Silvia Lloris. Last month, she achieved the first major success of her career, winning the European Under-19 Championship with the national team. With no time to rest, he made the jump to the under-20 category to participate in the World Cup, in which he was also undeniable: he played every minute except the second game, which he didn’t play.
Silvia Lloris is another star of a unique generation of regional sports. Such as her compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, her former teammate Eva Navarro, the pilots Acosta and Aldeguer or Izan Almansa, the only one to have achieved as much success as she has on the Spanish basketball team this summer.
