Owen: I'll often defend 'soft' penalties, as small touches can still destabilise an attacker and ruin the opportunity, but, in the current context of the match, was that really necessary? Great work from the 'keeper, mind.

Spain 3-0 Costa
An excellent run by Aitana Bonmatí down the right and she earns Spain another corner as her cross is put behind.
Costa Rica have every outfield player back to defend the delivery, and it gets the job done as they clear, but only briefly as Esther González nods over from a cross from the left.

A chance for Costa Rica as Spain are a bit too casual at the back, but goalkeeper Misa is just able to hack away as Mélissa Herrera looks to pounce on her.

Spain 3-0 Costa Rica
Costa Rica just cannot clear their lines, as soon as they kick the ball away it is picked up by a Spain player. Irene Paredes is the latest to have an attempt on goal as her effort from outside the box is blocked.

Former England international on BBC TwoJenni Hermoso will be so disappointed with that penalty. She looked so cool and calm but it was a great height for the goalkeeper Daniela Solera who guessed the right way.

Image source, Getty ImagesEsther Gonzalez deserves it, she has been getting herself into really good positions.
The deliveries from out wide have been excellent. Gonzalez reacts quicker than anyone else.
You can see how much it means to her. This is Spain sending out a statement.
They've started this game so well.

Esther González
But there's the third!
Spain are causing all sorts of problems for Costa Rica now from out wide and Teresa Abelleira's cross is headed onto the bar by Jenni Hermoso but Esther Gonzalez is perfectly placed to drive in the loose ball.
Will Spain ease up, or will they go for the statement win?

Former England international on BBC TwoAitana Bonmati is absolutely world class. Just look how she manoeuvres the ball. The goalkeeper has no chance because that is curling into the corner.
Lovely play initially to set that goal up and the pressure has told.

Aitana Bonmatí
A quick second!
A really good finish by Aitana Bonmatí as she opens up a bit of space for herself inside the box and she bends a shot beyond the goalkeeper.
Costa Rica had done well to keep the scores level for so long but they could be in for a tough 70 minutes or so.

Former England international on BBC TwoThe pressure that Spain have been putting on this Costa Rica backline, we said that would happen.
Really good play from Spain. Costa Rica will be so disappointed that they couldn't clear that. Valeria del Campo just couldn't shift her feet.

It is an own goal, but it had been coming!
Spain have been trying to walk the ball in at times and in the end Costa Rica get the job of putting the ball into the net for them as Valeria del Campo turns in Esther González's cross.
