Spain fight back to defeat England | OneFootball

Spain came from 1-0 down at half time to defeat England and top Group 3 of the Women's Nations League.

It was the visitors who first took the lead at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona when Alessia Russo was set free before keeping her calm and slotting the ball past Cata Coll to score on her 50th England appearance.

The home side weren't happy though as they felt that Salma Paralluelo had been fouled in the build up.

Spain had chances in the first period with Hannah Hampton needing to be at her best in the post-Mary Earps era.

The current world champions needed a super sub to make the difference with Clàudia Pina coming on in the 58th minute and then equalising in the 60th as she slotted the ball into the corner.

Just 10 minutes later, the turnaround was complete. This time it was a super strike from Pina from outside the area that came off the inside of the post and into the net.

Sarina Wiegman's team couldn't find a way to get back into the game against a dominant side meaning that they finished second in Group 3. Table toppers Spain will instead advance to the final four.

England will be hoping for a better performance when EURO 2025 begins later this month.
