[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.
