The Spanish soccer team got the highlight by beating Vietnam 9-0, in their last preparation game before starting the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Just seven days before Spain’s debut in the World Cup (July 21), the Reds demonstrated superiority on the pitch and great cohesion of the entire team, transmitting very positive feelings.
It was a training match behind closed doors played at the McLennan Park Stadium in Auckland (New Zealand). Alexia Putellas did not play. The Ballon d’Or has been training outside the group in recent days and continues to finalize its preparation to arrive prepared for the World Cup premiere.
Alba Redondo was in charge of opening the scoring at minute 7 of the game, and only 5 minutes later came the second after a shot by Athenea del Castillo. Aitana Bonmatí and Jennifer Hermoso did not go without their goal either, and Salma Paralluelo and Esther González finished the game with a brace.
“The World Cup is just around the corner. We continue with a clean sheet, which is very important. We are looking forward to the day of the debut,” Jennifer Hermoso said after the game.
Vietnam was not able to stop the good game and the constant attack of the Spanish internationals who were especially inspired by the match. “The team has played well in both parts, we have pressed and we have kept a clean sheet. The game plan has been well understood. We are ready to start the World Cup,” said Jorge Vilda, the Spanish coach.
In addition to the bulky marker, he highlighted the fluid circulation of the ball and the automatisms shown. A friendly that takes Spain on the wings to the first match of the group stage against Costa Rica on July 21 at 9:30 am in Spain at the Wellington Regional Stadium.
Then they will face Zambia on Wednesday 26 at the same time (09:30) and will close against Japan at 9:00 again at the Wellington Regional Stadium in the unified timetable for the third day.
