In the early hours of Thursday to Friday, three games moved the second day of the Women’s World Cup. For Group C, Spain debuted with a victory over Costa Rica by 3-0, in Wellington, New Zealand.
The Spanish team won with goals from Valeria del Campo (own), Aitana Bonmati and Esther González, all in the first half of the game. Still in the initial stage, Jennifer Hermoso wasted a penalty for Spain and the chance to turn the victory into a rout.
Group C is still composed of Zambia and Japan, who debut and face each other this Saturday, at 4 am (from Brasilia).
