Spain sets the standard at Women's World Cup with 3-0 win, 45 shots on goal

cbc.ca

When Alexis Putellas finally made her entry into Spain's opener at the Women's World Cup against Costa Rica on Friday, the match was already won.

The two-time Ballon d'Or winner waited 77 minutes to leave the bench, to enter the tournament and to provide an early answer to questions about her fitness after her long recuperation from injury.

Putellas damaged the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee just before Spain's European Championship campaign last year, returned for the first time in April and has been played sparingly since, mostly from the bench.

Her appearance in the 3-0 win at Wellington on a night of stinging rain and cold was an affirmation of her fitness, the promise of better things to come as the tournament proceeds and the last component of a triumphant night for Spain.
