00:00 This broadcast on Optus Sport brought to you by Qantas.
00:05 Proudly flying to over 95 destinations worldwide.
00:10 This is the first genuine set piece now that is going to test Costa Rica.
00:20 Abogeo with it.
00:21 Malouelo back across goal.
00:23 Brilliant save to turn it over to top Solera.
00:26 Fantastic reflexes from the Costa Rica goalkeeper.
00:30 Solera's certainly been busy, hasn't she, in the last minute?
00:33 Nearly set a goal up and then what about this for a wonderful save?
00:36 You know, good position.
00:37 She doesn't get distracted by the players in front of her, holds her ground.
00:43 A flick through which has found its way all the way through for Esther Gonzalez.
00:47 A cross goal and into her own net.
00:50 It's Valeria Del Campo who's scored Spain's opening goal.
00:53 The Costa Rican defender.
00:57 So unfortunate she just couldn't shift her feet out of the way in time.
01:03 Spain can and will potentially take the game away from them.
01:08 And they might be able to get a second here.
01:10 It's loose in the box. It's another goal.
01:12 It's a brilliant finish.
01:14 It's 2-0 to Spain.
01:18 Paul Massie with it.
01:21 And in the blink of an eye, Jorge Vilda's team have a firm grasp of their opening Group C game.
01:29 Costa Rica haven't even recovered from the first goal yet, have they?
01:35 Del Castillo, Batier.
01:39 Gonzalez! Nearly another one.
01:42 Solera reacts to Parmin away for a corner.
01:49 Collected again by Abujera.
01:52 This time with Farmoor, leant on the delivery that heads off the crossbar.
01:55 The follow-up is flipped in.
01:57 There's that Esther Gonzalez goal.
01:59 Spain are 3-0 up in 27 minutes.
02:03 This is a storming start.
02:05 This is intent from Spain.
02:10 It's deflected nicely for Bon Massie.
02:12 The pass was intended for her anyway.
02:14 Solera reaching.
02:16 Abujera.
02:22 This is Carmona.
02:24 And she's gone down and Spain now have a penalty.
02:31 How does this one go?
02:35 Hermoso.
02:37 Saved by Solera.
02:39 And Costa Rica have a moment.
02:47 Del Castillo. The trouble for Costa Rica is if they're going to push up, Spain are going to punish if they can.
02:52 Del Castillo. And there are options.
02:55 Here is Carmona.
02:57 Gonzalez and Parruelo away.
02:59 Bon Massie's joining in as well.
03:00 And Carmona nearly got the rewards herself.
03:04 Flicking off the top of the Costa Rican crossbar.
03:17 Well, she is having some second half. And she had a pretty good first half.
