but it showed rapid development in this tournament.
Spain, which defeated Costa Rica (3-0) and Zambia (5-0) in turn in the group stage,
lost 0-4 in the third group stage and advanced to the round of 16 in second place in the group.
Afterwards, they beat Switzerland 5-1 in the round of 16, the Netherlands 2-1 in the quarter-final, and defeated Sweden 2-1 in the semi-final,
defeating European teams one after another and making it to the final.

so this final also has the nature of a ‘return match’.

while Spain’s Henifer Hermoso, Aitana Bonmati and Alba Redondo each scored three goals.
