Spain vs Japan 2-1 Paris Olympics 2024 Women’s Football

The women's football event in Group C of the 2024 Summer Olympics takes place from July 25 to July 31, 2024. The four teams that make up this group Brazil, Japan, Spain, and Nigeria compete in the Olympic tournament's group stage.

Among the three groups, the top two teams and the two teams ranked third move on to the knockout stage. Both teams came out firing as the game began. Spain eventually seized the lead, held on to power, and advanced.

Despite Japan's strong defense, Spain went first in the match in the thirtyth minute thanks to a goal from Aitana Bonmati that gave her team a 1-0 lead. Spain started the second half playing strongly to take back the advantage.

Japan 2-1 Spain

With the help of a highly debated goal, Japan overcame Spain 2-1 to win the World Cup and take first place in Group E. Luis Enrique's team would have to proceed as runners-up ahead of Germany based on goal differential.

At the Khalifa International Stadium, Spain controlled the first half and looked certain to go up to the top spot after Alvaro Morata scored his third goal of the competition.

However, everything changed in an amazing flash following the break when replacement Ritsu Doan equalized with a shot from the edge of the box (48), and Ao Tanaka finished the comeback after Kaoru Mitoma's cut-back (51) looked to have gone out of play.

Full-Time: Spain 2-1 Japan

At State de la Beaujoire, where Spain is making its Olympic debut and has come back from behind to defeat Japan, the referee sounds the final whistle. Aoba Fujino's fantastic free-kick put La Roja ahead, but Aitana Bonmati pulled one back before setting up Mariona Caldentey for the game-winning goal in the Group C opening.

90+4' Spain 2-1 Japan

Japan starts what will likely be their last effort of the match, putting the ball in the penalty area.
But when it matters most, they are too uncertain and indecisive, which lets Spain clear their lines.

90' Spain 2-1 Japan

As we get closer to the six-minute stoppage period, Japan makes one last toss of the dice.
Moriya moves past Koga, who is now the youngest player to appear in the Games.

87' Spain 2-1 Japan

The fact that Spain has had 70% of the ball since the restart highlights their edge in the second half.
Even though it's only their first game in the competition, they already seem like strong competitors in these Games.

Due to two changes, there is also movement on the Spanish bench. Guijarro and Del Castillo are replaced with Abelleira and Garcia.

In the round of sixteen:

• The third-placed squad from either Group A or Group B will face the winner from Group C.
• Group C's runners-up move on to face Group B's winners.
• Group C's third-place club might get to play Group A's winner.

Olympics Prediction

Damian

This is a fairly good draw for Ruud, and it should be simpler because he won't be competing against Pedro Martinez, who beat him earlier in the year at Estoril. Vavassori often causes upsets with his extremely special clay game, but finding a win of that scale would be rather different for him.
Prediction: Ruud in two

Manuel

Although Ruud is very difficult to beat at Roland Garros and is unlikely to achieve what only Djokovic, Nadal, and Zverev have recently been able to do, Manuel Vassori won his match against Martinez today.
Prediction: Ruud in two

Jordan

Pedro Martinez, a specialist on clay courts, was defeated by Vavassori in the final round. That does not imply, however, that he is in Ruud's deep class. The two-time runner-up at the French Open, who appears to have been unfairly written off by many given his history in Paris, advances in straight sets.
Prediction: Ruud in two
