When Carmona drilled home just before the half-hour, the momentum swung Spain’s way and they went on to dominate the rest of the game

The European Champions had initially started well, and were inches away from opening the scoring themselves when Lauren Hemp’s looping effort hit the crossbar.

But when Carmona drilled home just before the half-hour, the momentum swung Spain’s way and they went on to dominate the rest of the game.

They had a golden chance to double their lead when they were awarded a penalty midway through the second half, given for a handball against Keira Walsh following a lengthy VAR review.

The Lionesses, ultimately sunk by Olga Carmona’s first half strike, were given a lifeline when Mary Earps – who won the Golden Glove award for the tournament’s best goalkeeper – made a terrific penalty save.

Earps made the terrific save to deny Hermoso, before launching into a passionate celebration that sparked cheers from millions of fans watching back home.

‘First half wasn’t our best, second half we had chances – we hit the bar. Congrats to them but this is the hard part of football.

‘A lot of emotion (right now) but I’m really proud of the team. To come this far, to play in the World Cup final, not many get to do that.

‘This is not it for us, we’ll bounce back.’
