Patri Guijarro and Eva Navarro scored in the first 14 minutes of the match, setting Spain on a path to defeat the United States 2-0 in a high-stakes clash between the world's top-ranked women's soccer teams. Later in the game, Adriana Nanclares denied the U.S. a second goal by stopping a second-half penalty kick. This victory came in the first annual meeting between reigning World Cup champion Spain and Olympic champion United States.
