2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Information

Spain vs. England is shaping up to be a classic. Not only is this both club's first time in the final, but all of their games have been close in the knockout rounds (with the exception of Spain's 5-1 victory over Switzerland).

Aitana Bonmatí and Jennifer Hermoso are Spain's leading goal scorers with three a piece. Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo also have a team-leading three goals for England.

Cata Coll (Spain) and Mary Earps (England) will be the game's goalkeepers. Both ladies have done a fantastic job protecting the net, as the teams have only allowed seven and three goals, respectively. Both teams have a goal difference of +10 against their competition.

Spain has been fueled by the emergence of an unlikely superstar. Salma Paralluelo is only a teenager, yet she has had a great tournament. Paralluelo scored an extra-time game-winner in the quarterfinals and then scored the team's first goal in their semi-final match against Sweden. The young forward is a player to look out for in the final.
