The goal was assisted by Putellas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zambia were left chasing the game from that moment on and barely mustered any offensive attempts that troubled the Spain backline. Sakala, however, was kept very busy from the time of Hermoso\u2019s first to her second \u2013 her 50th for Spain in 100 caps \u2013 which came in the second half, in the 70th minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before Hermoso got her brace, Redondo had scored just a minute earlier to put Spain 3 \u2013 0 up.

She got her brace on the other side of Hermoso\u2019s goal after beating Zambia\u2019s offside trap in the 85th minute.
