For the first time in its history, Spain has won the Women’s World Cup.

Olga Carmona’s goal in the 29th minute was the only scoring in the 1-0 victory over England on Sunday. The match was played at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

Spain is now the fifth different nation to win the Women’s World Cup, joining Germany, Japan, Norway, and the United States.

Spanish midfielder Aitana Bonmatí won the Golden Ball, awarded to the tournament’s best player, while teammate Salma Paralluelo won the Young Player Award. Japan’s Hinata Miyazawa earned the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer with five goals, and England’s Mary Earps received the Golden Glove for her outstanding goalkeeping performance.
