FULL TIME
There we have it. It wasn't going to go any other way. Spain comfortable victors here, and getting the momentum going early. It's not a great demonstration of where they're at quite yet, but we'll get that before too long. Thanks for joining us on TNT Sports, be sure to come back very soon for even more LIVE World Cup action!

NOT QUITE
Aballeira looks to fizz one in from the right-hand side, but miscues her cross.
CORNER, SPAIN
Alvarado miscues her pass, and La Roja have a corner. It's whipped in by Aballeira, and met by Hermoso, but cleared.
FREE FLOWING
... are Spain. They're playing some lovely stuff now, as Caldentey wins the corner. Aballeira delivers, and it's cleared with an element of improv by Benavides.
WIDE
Paralleulo has the beating of Coto in the air, looking imperious at times, and her movement to the near post is expert, but her glancing header is wide.
SUBSTITUTION
Mariona Caldentey replaces del Castillo.
