The match, played in Córdoba under intense heat, was fundamental for the national team, which needed to recover from the setback against England. From the outset, the team showed its determination, taking the lead within two minutes of play. The coach's strategy, opting for an offensive lineup, quickly paid off.
The Bayern forward, Edna Imade, was one of the key players, scoring two headers, one at the beginning of each half, which set the team on the path to victory. Aerial play became one of Spain's main strengths, exploiting a weakness in the Ukrainian team. Despite their dominance, the team struggled to convert all their chances in the first half.
The third goal also came from a header, scored by María Méndez, solidifying the Spanish lead. Subsequently, Eva Navarro and Vicky López completed the rout, the latter with an individual play that culminated in an open-goal finish. The heat in Córdoba seemed to affect the performance of the Ukrainian players, who could not withstand the Spanish onslaught.
With this result, the Spanish national team achieves its goal of securing three points and prepares for the next challenge. The leadership of Group A3 will be decided in the next qualifying match for the Brazil World Cup, to be played on June 5 at the Son Moix stadium against the current European champions.
