Spain handed England a 4-0 defeat in Mallorca on Friday, dealing a blow to England's hopes of automatic qualification for the 2026 Women's World Cup. Alexia Putellas scored twice and Patri Guijarro added another as Spain dominated throughout, leaving both sides level on 12 points in Group A3 with one qualifying match remaining. England can still secure automatic qualification if they better Spain's result when they host Ukraine next Tuesday, while Spain travel to Iceland. Elsewhere, Germany clinched their place in the finals with a 2-0 win over Norway, and Ireland's Amber Barrett scored a dramatic 90th-minute winner to beat the Netherlands 3-2 and move Ireland into second place in Group A2.
