On Friday (21st), a highly anticipated matchup took place in Group C of the 2023 Women's World Cup, with the women's soccer teams of Spain and Costa Rica repeating the intensity of last year's Men's World Cup Group E group stage match. The Spanish women's soccer team started the match with an impressive offense, scoring three goals in the first six minutes of the first half to start the match. Although the Costa Rican women's soccer team was unable to withstand this attacking frenzy, their performance was undoubtedly brilliant compared to the men's soccer team that suffered a 0-7 defeat.
Spain, one of the favorites to win the championship, was in control of the ball throughout the game and attacked Costa Rica fiercely. In the 21st minute, Costa Rica's Gambo scored a goal of his own, and Spain took the lead. Spain's attack continued with a precise shot from Bomardi, which further increased the gap between the two teams. In the 27th minute, a corner kick by Gonzalez made the score 2-0. In the 35th minute, Spain was awarded a 12-yard penalty kick, but the player who took the kick, Boots Moussou, gave the chance away, and Spain kept the score 3-0 until the end.
