The women’s team achieved victory in the first of the two friendlies that will face Sweden in Karlskrona. In the match, seven of the players coached by Claudia Pons scored a goal, with Laura Córdoba and Noelia each scoring a double.
However, the Spaniards were unable to translate the difference in goals between the two teams until the second half. A spectacular start by Claudia Pons’ team allowed them to go from 0-1 at halftime to 0-6. The exchange of goals then took the game to the final score of 3-9.
On the other hand, Spain is in the group of national teams that could host the 2025 World Cup. Italy is also one of the teams bidding for its organization.
