Red fell in love. For its magic, for the irreverence of its young talents, for the genius of Aitana Bonmati positioning himself more and more firmly as the future Ballon d’Or, for his combined game and his offensive spirit, for his endless ambition. On their World Cup debut in Australia and New Zealand, under heavy rain that worsened, the Jorge Vilda they defeated a weak Costa Rica 3-0 and submitted their bid for the title without hesitation. the purposes of Valeria del Campo own goal in the 21′, Aitana Bonmati at 23′ and Esther Gonzalez 27′ they judged in just six fatal minutes. Jenni is beautiful he could have put the room but he made a mistake a penalty in the 34′.
Spain left the entrance without its star Alexia Putellas, where the coach wanted to reserve as a precaution after feeling various discomforts in the last training sessions, despite the fact that it was completed late. The double Ballon d’Or He came off in the 76′ to the delight of the crowd, who gave him a standing ovation as he left the field.
vilda he bet an unprecedented eleven. As he revealed in the preview, “the chosen eleven are just thinking about the game right now.” So, he gave an entry to attack two youths as Salma Paralluelo (Barca) and Athena del Castillo (Real Madrid), to develop a forward with such a veteran Jenni is beautiful (Pachuca of Mexico). The result could not have been better: the Spanish team did not stop creating danger from the start, harassing and completely knocking out an opponent who was just a spectator.
The game started with the planned script: Spain holding the ball and keeping possession, and a very defensive Costa Rica looking for a counter. Every time they lose the ball, Vilda’s team bites to get it right back. they immediately warned Aitana and Esther, although the first big occasion came in the boots of Ivana Andres (Real Madrid) after ten minutes with a header after Salma’s corner kick.
Spain was attacked by many bands, including Salma and Athena doing a lot of damage to their centers. In the 21st minute came the reward for insistence: Esther put the low center from the left wing and from the field He was trying to clear it but unfortunately he ended up putting it on his own door. It was a warning of what was to come: almost two minutes later, a genius of Aitana Bonmati he raised the second after playing the Athena from the right wing he crossed for the Catalan and he fired a whip that was impossible to reach at the far post Solera. Crack the goal.
The third did not wait these six fatal minutes. Esther almost finished from behind after grabbing a rebound in the 27th minute. Spain still managed to extend their lead when the referee declared a tougher penalty from Fabiola. Olga Carmona, who tried to leave from the left wing. Jenni shot to the right of the goalkeeper, but Solera punched it hard. Esther again on 43′, but the ball just went over the crossbar in a sensational first half.
The second half followed the same script with a Spanish team focused on attack and a Costa Rica that was barely disruptive. Olga Carmona he sent the ball over the crossbar in 49′ and in 55′, Salma stole the ball and ran against the entire defense until he could shoot, but Solera ended up clearing the ball for a corner. The goalkeeper, undoubtedly the best of the Costa Ricans, avoided a major setback for Spain. vilda seized the opportunity to enter Mariona Caldentey and Alba Redondo for Athenea and Esther. The confidence of the three goals perhaps relaxed Spain, which continued to dominate but took its foot off the accelerator.
A headbutt from Ivana Andres at the exit of a corner he was again blocked by goalkeeper Solera. A tube from Jenni preceded the shots from Esther and Salma, which if they were sharp in the first part, this time they were very forgiving. Spain was more superior, but the goal was missing. In the 76th minute they retreated Salma and Abelleira to give input to ALexia Putellas and Claudia Zornoza. And in 87′ Oihane Hernández came to replace Ona Batlle. Spain monopolized the ball and continued to attack with the only ‘but’ that in this last phase it failed to convert the danger.
