The details of the tragedy of the Women’s World Cup
From his left-back position, Olga Carmona did not seem the most likely candidate to score the goal that would give Spain the Women’s World Cup title. But not only did he achieve that score, but a few days before he scored the goal that allowed Spain to beat Sweden (2-1) in the semifinal of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
“Because of the game model in Spain, I add a lot to the attack. I always try to shoot and try to score. I am a winger turned winger and something of that stayed with me”, declared Carmona this Sunday, elated by the conquest of the title with a 1-0 victory against England. She had previously dedicated her goal to the deceased mother of her best friend.
Her performance in the final earned her the best player of the match award. But before, a day before, according to ‘El Español’, her father died.

As reported by ‘El País’, the father of the star of the title of Spain was already ill.
‘El Español’ says that the father died a day before the momentous game.
“Olga Carmona’s mother and siblings were flying to Australia when they learned of the death of their father, who had been ill for a year. They had traveled to be with her at a moment that was as special as it was delicate, although they didn’t know that at the time they took off,” reports ‘El Español’.
As the latter media publishes, the family would have decided not to tell her anything so as not to affect her emotionally.
