A long, hard-fought month of action has come to a close, and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is officially over. Everything came down to Spain against England and in typical World Cup fashion, things were tense.
Both teams entered the final in search of their first World Cup title ever and in the end, Spain landed on top, earning a 1-0 victory over England.
The only thing separating the two sides was a 29th-minute goal by 23-year-old Olga Carmona. She received a great pass just inside the box and tucked the ball away into the bottom corner of the net.
While Carmona scored the goal that finished the job, it was Aitana Bonmatí who took home this year’s Golden Ball. Her well-rounded performance throughout the tournament was enough to secure that honor.
There were plenty of reactions to Spain’s performance, as well as the continuing controversy surrounding head coach Jorge Vilda.
So, with Spain finally crowned champions, let’s take a look at how fans and media reacted to the accomplishment.
