Belgium managed two responses via Justine Vanhaevermaet and Hannah Eurlings, who each scored after Spain’s initial goals, but the Red Flames were ultimately overrun by Spain’s superior tempo and creativity.
🧠 Tactical Brilliance from Montse Tomé
Spain’s manager, Montse Tomé, has crafted a side that not only dominates possession but thrives in its fluid attacking transitions. The depth and versatility of Spain’s midfield and forward line were on full display, with Putellas and Pina instrumental in unlocking Belgium’s defense.
With their second commanding win, Spain sits atop Group B with six points and an unmatched goal difference. They will mathematically qualify for the quarter-finals if Portugal fails to beat Italy later this evening.
