Spain started its Women's World Cup campaign with ease Friday morning.
Costa Rica found itself on the back foot for the entirety of the game and was overmatched. The Costa Rica managed just one shot while Spain absolutely peppered the goal with an astounding 46 total shots. Twelve of them were on target.
The margin of victory could have been even greater after Olga Carmona was fouled in the penalty area to draw a free kick. But Jenni Hermoso’s penalty kick was saved. Spain plays Zambia on Wednesday in its second group game and a win will put the Spanish women through to the next round. Costa Rica plays Japan next.Switzerland got goals in each half for a 2-0 win over the Philippines and to move into first place in Group A via goal differential.
Philippines’ Katrina Guillou scored the first goal of the game but the goal but it didn’t count because she was offside. Switzerland then got on the board later in the first half thanks to a VAR review that resulted in a penalty. Coumba Sow was fouled by Jessika Coward in the box and a video review confirmed the penalty should be awarded. Ramona Bachmann then scored just a few minutes before halftime to give the Swiss a 1-0 lead.
