Spain showed signs that it was starting to recover from a bad first half against Sweden. It also displayed a more physical style towards Sweden. Jenni Hernandezo's brilliant shot was able to level the score in the nineth minute. Second half saw a leveling of physicality, with Spain failing numerous penalties and yellow card conversions. Megan Rapinoe used the opportunity to flag Spain for a soft foul in the 76th minute. In the final 15 minutes, America's physical fitness was evident.
La Roja's performance against America
La Roja's performance in the match against the United States was eye-opening. The U.S. WNT was unbeaten in eight competitive matches and had never conceded a goal. They outscored their opponents 44-0. Despite the United States' excellent goal-scoring record the Spaniards seem stronger. They are a dangerous team, and can put pressure on the inexperienced U.S. goalkeeper and back line. La Roja has been disappointed by the two previous goals they scored, both of them by Megan Rapinoe.
Their formation against South Africa
Spain began their match against South Africa with a 4-3-3 formation. Spain's wide attackers occupied the half-spaces and created space for their fullbacks. South Africa had little chance to counterattack as the midfield was compact. The attacking midfielders of Spain were primarily responsible for the goals, with the exception of a few good efforts from Amanda Mthandi and Kgatlana.
