[1/11] Soccer Football - FIFA Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 - Final - Spain v England - Stadium Australia, Sydney, Australia - August 20, 2023 Spain players celebrate with the trophy after winning the World Cup REUTERS/Carl Recine Acquire Licensing RightsSYDNEY, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Spanish technique overcame English resilience as La Roja put aside months of turmoil and division to win their first major title with a 1-0 victory over England in a hardfought Women's World Cup final at Stadium Australia on Sunday. Vilda became only the second male coach to win a major women's tournament - the World Cup, the Olympics and the Euros - since 2000. The first Women's World Cup final not to feature either the United States or Germany started at quite a pace with England just about enjoying the upper hand in the battle of two first-time finalists. Spain took the lead in the 29th minute after England were dispossessed in midfield. "I think everyone has seen an incredible game, very open game, both teams who want to play football," said Wiegman, who was also the losing coach when in charge of her native Netherlands in the 2019 World Cup final.

Spain won its first Women's World Cup title less than a year after a player rebellion, holding off England 1-0 on Sunday after Olga Carmona's first-half goal. Spain is the fifth winner in nine editions of the Women's World Cup and joins Germany as the only two nations to win both the men's and women's tournaments. The Lionesses were trying to bring a World Cup back to England for the first time since 1966, but fell just short. Three of those players — Ona Batlle, Aitana Bonmatí and Mariona Caldentey — reconciled with the federation and were at the World Cup. England coach Sarina Wiegman was the first coach to take her teams to back-to-back World Cup title matches.

"We went to extra time, but the team kept on believing," said coach Jorge Vilda. "It should have been a penalty after all, but it still doesn't mean that Spain didn't win deservedly," said Dutch coach Andries Jonker. "Had we made it, we'd have been convinced to make it through the semi-finals and make it to the final." Fifteen players declared themselves unavailable for selection in September, saying events with the national team had impacted their emotional and physical health. The Spanish federation backed the coach but only six of the mutineers returned to play at the World Cup.
