La Roja turn the tide around
Spain defeated Poland 5-1
Poland and Spain had already faced each other in the group stage, with the Polish taking the three points then with a 2-0 win.
After a goalless first period, a superbly converted free-kick from Zielinska went through the top corner of Spain’s goal to put Poland ahead, in the second minute of the second period.
Spain equalised five minutes later, with Carol reacting quicker to the rebound after an incomplete save by Banaszkiewicz, and two minutes later Jesi completed the comeback, giving the Spanish the lead.
La Roja couldn’t have asked for a better start to the third period, as Andrea Mirón struck it home from the kick-off, and with five minutes to go, Sara Tui made it 4-1 from the penalty line.
Sara would score again before the final buzzer, deflecting a shot from Cris to make the final score 5-1.
