Claudia Pina’s two second-half goals helped Spain come from behind to beat England 2-1 and secure a spot in the Women’s Nations League semi-finals. England took the lead early through Alessia Russo, but Pina’s quick equalizer and powerful winner turned the game around.
Spain topped Group A3, finishing five points clear of England, and join Sweden, France, and Germany in the final four. Pina, often a super-sub, praised her impact off the bench, saying she always strives to help the team.
Despite England’s early dominance and a solid performance from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, Spain controlled the game after going ahead. The win adds momentum for Spain ahead of the Euros, while England face concerns after this tough loss.
