Tasting of Coll Salvadora
He may have been a substitute at Barça, but he earned the starting position at La Roja with more than enough merit. Excellently placed in the shots of Rolfö and Blackstenius, he avoided Spain’s defeat with his performances. He showed superb reflexes in the 41′ when Blcakstenius’ shot almost singed the goal.
Ona Batlle Deep
He never tires of cutting balls down the right lane. He knows how to stop Rolfö coming into his lane and is once again decisive in offensive tasks, always helpful when it comes to creating danger. He provides a lot of depth to his side.
Irene Paredes Wall
The center back showed the defensive power of this team, being the absolute leader of the defense. He controlled Blacktenius’s attacks and marked Ilestedt in the corners. While Paredes is on the field, the rearguard is safe.
Laia Codina Worker
As usual, he did not stop working as Irene’s partner as a center-back and joined the attack, mainly in getting the ball in practical development in the opposite field. He has been excellent in this World Cup and after starting the tournament as a substitute, he earned his place in the starting team at the expense of Ivana Andrés.
Olga Carmona Decisive
He started again due to the suspension of Oihane Hernández and was decisive in Spain’s victory with his excellent goal in the 90th minute to make it 2-1. Fast and tireless in the left lane, he combines Mariona very well and tries to find the goal. He was already warning on 13′ with a kick that deflected the Swedish defense into a corner and came out brushing the post. He got his prize in the 90th minute with his kick to unleash the frenzy of the Spanish fans.
Creative Aitana Bonmati
He had a more cautious role in the first half but stepped up to take the reins of the team. He got along well with Jenni Hermoso. He offered flashes of quality and class with a nice cut at 21′ and he tried it at 38′ with a bitten shot that went wide. The midfielder never wavered against the Swedish defence.
Tere Abelleira Omnipresent
Another display from the Real Madrid midfielder. Providential to steal balls -up to 15- in the midfield, he never stopped working and prevented Asllani from making dangerous plays. She gave the pass to Olga Carmona to make it 2-1.
Alexia Putellas Ascendant
It’s clear that he still hasn’t reached his best version, but he left glimpses of his quality with details like the spout in 34′ that the Swedish goalkeeper deflected for a corner. He integrated well throughout the midfield. He was replaced by Salma in the 56′ and is set to play an important role in the final.
Alba Round Biting
He was an attacking threat from the first minute. He combed the ball in the 11′ that he couldn’t find the shooter and had a goal in the 69′ after a shot from Salma and from the ground just missed. Very incisional throughout the game. He was replaced at 73′.
Jenni Beautiful Reborn
The Pachuca striker is experiencing a second youth. She combines very well with Alexia and Aitana always drops to receive the ball. He set up the center of Salma’s goal and also assisted for Alba. With Salma coming in for Alexia, she moved her position back to midfielder, where she performs better.
Mariona Caldentey Overflowing
One of the veterans of this team who never gets tired of working, overwhelming his rivals and getting along with his teammates. He finds the gaps well and the danger goes through his boots. He fought for the ball with rivals. His direct free kick in the 66′ hit the wall.
The changes
Salma Paralluelo Majestic
Like against Netherlands, he won MVP with his great goal and crack performance. At the age of 19, he knocked on the door of big stars. He entered in the 56′ to be more than an abomination and he felt himself immediately. He got it in the 63′ on a delivery from Alba Redondo that the Aragonese finished with a header over the goal and returned the pass to Alba Redondo on a great occasion. He scored another great goal after catching a rebound in the middle of the area that he didn’t hesitate to shoot first to beat Musovic and make it 1-0.
Eva Navarro Electric
He entered in the 72′ for Alba Redondo to give freshness and irreverence to the attack. He is quick and electric to make the Nordic defense work.
Esther Gonzalez Testimonial
He entered in the 95′ for Mariona whose game decided to put pressure on the rivals.
