Football No. 1 FIFA Ranking" Spain wins 2-1 against Japan, the strongest team

Spain came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in the first Group C match of the tournament at Stade de la Bozoire in Nantes, France, on the afternoon of the 25th (local time).

Spain lost first point to Japan's Fujino Aoba (Tokyo Verdi) in the 13th minute with a fantastic free-kick mid-range shot. Since then, the team has struggled under Japan's strong and systematic forward pressure.

However, Spain scored an equalizer in the 22nd minute of the first half. The troubleshooter was Aitana Bonmaty, the ace who was named FIFA's Player of the Year last year. Bonmaty beat a Japanese defender, penetrated into the penalty box, and calmly scored a goal in front of goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita.
Spain, which regained the lead after the equalizer and continued its offensive, scored a reverse goal in the 29th minute of the second half with a right-footed shot following a dribble breakthrough by Mariona Cal dente.

Midfielder Henifer Hermoso, who had a hard time after being unwantedly kissed by former Spanish Football Association President Luis Rubiales at last year's World Cup awards, was also substituted in the 13th minute of the second half to help Spain win.

A total of 12 teams will participate in women's soccer at the Paris Olympics. Four teams will play in the group league, and two teams with good results will advance to the quarterfinals. The winner of the medal will be decided through the tournament,

Unlike men's soccer, where players under the age of 23 compete, there is no age limit for women's soccer at the Olympics. That's why the best members of each country will participate. Most of Spain's players who won last year's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand participated in the Paris Olympics. 메이저놀이터

Spain, led by F.C. Barcelona Femeni players, belongs to Group C along with Japan, Nigeria (36th) and Brazil (9th). Spain (No. 1) is competing with Japan, the biggest competitor in the same group, and has secured three points from the start, catching Japan (No. 7), the most difficult opponent in Asia.

Meanwhile, "defending champion" Canada (8th) beat New Zealand (28th) 2-1 in the first Group A kick-off at Stade Jofruagishar in Saint-Etienne on the same day.

Canada, which won the women's soccer gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021, also scored first to New Zealand in the 13th minute of the first half, but scored consecutive goals by Chloé Lacase in the extra time of the first half and Viennes Everlin in the 34th minute of the second half to create a victory.

Prior to the match, Canada was disgraced when its coaching staff was caught spying on a training site in New Zealand with a drone. As a result, the team kicked its head coach and power analyst out of the team, and Coach Beverly Priestman did not voluntarily sit on the bench.
