In the stadium Rectangular from Perth, Australia, scored one of the most beautiful goals ever scored in the Women's World Cup. The author of the conquest was the captain of Ireland, Katie McCabe, who, with a left-footed shot from the corner located in the right sector of the attack, attempted a screw which left Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan no chance. It was only in the 4th minute of the match that the Europeans broke the score. However, in stoppage time in the first stage, the Canadians got the better of Megan Connolly, who put the ball in her own goal. Already in the squad, Adriana Leon reversed history and placed her team at the top of Group B, waiting for the second day of the zone to end tomorrow with the duel between Australia and Nigeria.

JAPAN 2-0 COSTA RICA

Japan achieved their goal and justified a well-deserved victory against Costa Rica 2-0 at the Forsyth Barr Stadium Dunedin in New Zealand. The Asians were outnumbered throughout the first half and practically handcuffed the Central Americans, who were able to put up little resistance. The goals were scored by Hikaru Naomoto and Aoba Fujino, both from the initial phase. The Japanese, who had just beaten Zambia 5-0 on their debut, qualified for the round of 16 of the World Cup and will now define first place in the group against Spain next Monday from 4 a.m. (Argentine time). Depending on your position, your opponent in the round of 16 will be between Switzerland, New Zealand, the Philippines and Norway. The Costa Ricans, already eliminated, will seek to win against Zambia on Monday at the same time.

SPAIN 5-0 ZAMBIA

Spain recorded one of its biggest wins yet at the Australia and New Zealand 2023 Women's World Cup (surpassed only by Germany's 6-0 win over Morocco) and sealed his ticket to the round of 16 of the World Cup. In the stadium Eden Park New Zealanders, the Europeans dominated the Africans with a very good goal from Teresa Abelleira and doubles from Jenni Hermoso and Alba Redondo, who entered as complements and were eliminated. The curiosity of the match was registered in the fourth goal, when South Korean referee Hyeon-Jeong Oh received the VAR guidelines and validated them, but not before making a mistake and ruling him out on the open mic for everyone on the pitch. The Spanish team thus took first place in Group C and a draw against Japan will reach it on Monday from 4 a.m. (Argentine time) to ensure the lead, since it has the same score but a difference of more goals.
