Spain vs Costa Rica: Spain wins by 3-0
Spain vs Costa Rica: They suffered a 3-0 defeat. They lost 12-1 in shots. And in the Women’s World Cup’s nightmare opening period, every ball seemed to land on the wrong foot.
Spain vs Costa Rica: On a chilly and rainy Friday night, Costa Rica’s Women’s World Cup campaign got off to a rough start with a 3-0 loss to Spain. The fact that Las Ticas persisted is probably the most important thing to remember.
A Spanish cross was deflected into her own goal by Valeria Del Campo of Costa Rica in the 22nd minute.
Spain vs Costa Rica
Spain vs Costa Rica: After Del Campo’s mistake, Spain’s Atiana Bonmati and Esther González both scored goals. Before the halfway point, the game was over.
“We lost a bit of concentration because of (the own goal) for about 12 minutes,” head coach Amelia Valverde said after the game. “The whole team lost concentration.”
Spain vs Costa Rica: “Today we are going to beat Spain and change history,” Carme Salleras, a Spanish-born soccer fan who immigrated to Costa Rica predicted before the game. Salleras and the growing crowd around her remained positive about their team, despite trailing by three goals at halftime. “There’s still 45 minutes left, so everything can happen.”
No such luck.
Spain vs Costa Rica: Costa Rica played with more grit in the second half, faced-down a Spanish attack that kept pressing until the end and goalkeeper Daniela Solera came up with 10 saves. But getting out of Group C, which also includes Japan and Zambia, now looks a lot tougher.
