Women’s Nations League final: World Cup winners Spain beat France 2-0 in Seville

Aitana Bonmati celebrates
Aitana Bonmati has been directly involved in five goals in Spain’s Women’s Nations League campaign, with four goals and one assist

Spain claimed their second major trophy in six months by beating France to win the inaugural Women’s Nations League.

La Roja beat England in the World Cup final in August and goals from Aitana Bonmati and Mariona Caldentey gave them a comfortable victory in Seville.

Ballon d’Or winner Bonmati broke the deadlock from close range in the 32nd minute, before Caldentey’s crisp, first-time finish after the break.

Herve Renard’s France side rarely threatened and had no shots on target.

An attendance of 32,657 was announced at Estadio La Cartuja, setting a new record crowd watching the Spanish women’s national team.

That eclipsed the 21,856 who watched Montse Tome’s side beat the Netherlands at the same stadium in Friday’s semi-final.

The Netherlands take on fellow beaten semi-finalists Germany in the third-place play-off at 19:45 GMT.
