Spain's women's national football team has made a commanding start to the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, securing two emphatic victories in the group stage. In their opening match in Bern, Switzerland, the reigning 2023 World Cup champions defeated Portugal 5-0, with Esther González scoring twice, and additional goals from Vicky López, Alexia Putellas, and Cristina Martín-Prieto. The team dominated the first half, leading 4-0 at halftime, and recorded their largest-ever win in the Euros. In their second group match against Belgium, Spain continued their strong form with a 6-2 victory. Alexia Putellas was instrumental, scoring twice and providing two assists, earning her the match MVP honors. Esther González added another goal, while Mariona Caldentey and Claudia Pina also contributed. Spain's offensive prowess has been notable, with 11 goals scored across just two matches, nearing their total from all previous European Championships. This performance has virtually secured Spain's place in the quarter-finals, with the team demonstrating a blend of experienced and young talent under coach Montse Tomé. Spain will face Italy in the final group stage match, with Italy and Portugal's draw leaving the quarter-final spots largely decided.
