Overview
- Spain delivered a 4-0 victory at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on Friday, overturning their April defeat at Wembley and moving above England in Group C.
- Alexia Putellas scored twice and Patricia Guijarro and Claudia Pina added goals, with substitutions including Pina and Aitana Bonmatí affecting the game’s outcome.
- Match data showed Spain’s control was decisive: 21 shots and about 3.5 expected goals compared with England’s three attempts and 0.2 xG.
- Coach Sonia Bermúdez’s tactical tweaks and squad depth — including young attackers Vicky López and Clara Serrajordi — were credited with breaking down England’s experienced XI.
- The result is England’s heaviest loss under Sarina Wiegman and their first four-goal concession in a World Cup qualifier, leaving players like Keira Walsh saying the team had no clear solutions as both sides prepare for final qualifiers next week.
