2023 FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP FINAL: CAPTAIN CARMONA FIRES SPAIN AHEAD

First booking of the game goes to Hemp. It's a bit soft, but the referee isn't hearing her complaints.

SO CLOSE FOR ENGLAND!

Kelly with a fantastic ball in after she beats the offside trap, which finds Hemp, but she can't get it on target.

Bright muscles the ball off Paralluelo.

That is possible the worse corner ever taken at a World Cup final.

Will Spain regret not taking their chances while they are on top?

Big save from Earps!

Caldentey and Bonmati combine well and the latter shrugs off Bronze to take a shot.

Earps gets low and makes a save and Spain win a corner.

But James is doing her defensive work right away and wins the ball back.

With Daly coming off for Kelly, it looks like we'll see England revert back to back-four. Let's see if it allows the Lionesses to get more chances.

We're underway!

Wiegman makes some early changes with James and Kelly coming on for Russo and Daly.

Bonmati has achres of space to make a run on the right. She uncharacteristically mishits the cross. The ball eventually lads to Paralluelo who takes a shot that just nicks the post. CLOSE!

She aims for Toone, but Spain clear despite some miscommunication at the back. The ball lands to Stanway who can't sort out her feet, and Spain win the ball back.

Daly's throw in is straight to a red shirt, and then Greenwood's pass to Bright is almost intercepted by Paralluelo. Wiegman's side need half-time to regroup.

England get forward, and Toone looks to have a chance to tap one in, but she completely scuffs it.

The offside flag goes up though, and the replay shows that Spain held their line well.

Carter commits a tackle to get the ball away. It looks like a foul, but it somehow is called as an England goal-kick.

Spain look like they're trying to see out the half.

The last time these sides met in a major tournament was last summer when England beat Spain 2-1 in extra-time. Spain also scored first in that match.

Spain keeping the ball in midfield and while a bunch of blue shirts keep trying to knick the ball off them. The play ends when Stanway stamps on Bonmati's foot, and Spain win a free-kick.

It's a poor clearance from Bright and Paredes smashes it wide.

But Batlle manages to get the ball off her.

As soon as that went in, you can see Earps shouting at her backline. It's a rare lapse for England and they've conceded.

It's the second-time that they've conceded first in this tournament - the first came against Colombia in the quarter-finals - and they'll need to reset now.

SPAIN GET THE OPENING GOAL AND IT'S THE CAPTAIN CARMONA!

SHE SCORED THE WINNER AGAINST SWEDEN IN THE SEMI-FINALS AND NOW SHE GETS HER GOAL ON THE BIGGEST STAGE.

Spain exploit the gap made by Bronze and Carmona gets the ball in space. She drills a low, powerful shot into the far corner.
