BarcelonaAnd, in the midst of the historic fight for their rights and those of the rest of the women, the female footballers of the Spanish national team have broken the historical attendance record in a match as a home team of the national team. No less than 14,194 spectators have gathered to enjoy Spain’s 5-0 victory over Switzerland in person at the Nuevo Arcángel in Córdoba and pay tribute to the protagonists of a revolution that is changing the face of Spanish football by pointing out the their shame The slogan #SeAcabó, which is gaining in the world of sports the force of the snowball that started the Me Too movement in the world of culture and entertainment six years ago, has gone global this week with the dispute between the two matches of the League of Nations after a call that began as a condemnation for the players and which they have turned into a global speaker.

Until now, the attendance record was set by the 11,209 people who attended El Sadar to watch the match between Spain and the United States in October 2022. The RFEF, in a matter of weeks, changed the tweets – subsequently deleted – from the infamous statements of Luis Rubiales justifying his kiss to Jennifer Hermoso for others that are the realization that times have changed. Today, at 1:38 p.m., the organization announced on the X social network that the tickets available to witness the match between Spain and Switzerland had sold out. Hours later, the Spanish players appeared on the pitch again with the white bracelet and the banner with the slogan #SeAcabó. In addition, the captains Alexia Putellas and Irene Paredes have offered the World Cup trophy to the fans.

In the strictly sporting field, Spain has gone over a Switzerland that has presented itself in Córdoba with the absences of ex-Blaugrana Ana-Maria Cronogorcevic, who surprisingly has not been called up, and Ramona Bachmann, injured. Aitana Bonmatí, with two goals, was the star of the 5-0 against a rival against whom she already stood out in the round of 16 of the recent World Cup. Aitana was one of the five Blaugrana players that Montse Tomé started: Cata Coll, Irene Paredes, Alexia Putellas and Mariona Caldentey were the rest. Instead, Ona Batlle, who started against Sweden, has remained on the bench.

The match helped Spain open a gap as a leader in the group stage of the League of Nations after the three epic points achieved on Friday at home against Sweden and the triumph of the Nordic team today against Italy, which previously also had won in Switzerland. The team coached by Tomé enjoyed their game despite the fact that the turf at Nuevo Arcángel was not in the best conditions.

In the 15th minute, Lucía Garcia opened the scoreboard after the Blaugrana’s Mariona Caldentey stole the ball from Elvira Herzog, the visiting goalkeeper. Just before the break, Aitana finished off a cross from Olga Carmona in the first touch to make it 2-0 and Sant Pere de Ribes, just at the start of the second half, extended the advantage even further with a tight shot. Inma Gabarro made it 4-0 when she took advantage of a poor rejection from Herzog and the big goal of the night came from the right leg of Maite Oroz, who executed a missile from outside the area that has slipped through the cracks. The Nations League, a qualifier for next year’s Olympic Games, will return at the end of October. Spain will then face Italy at home and Switzerland again.
