Laia Codina made a terrible mistake during Spain-Japan. But she managed to catch up afterwards.
This is one of the goal gags of this Women’s World Cup. In the round of 16 between Spain and Japan, Laia Codina made a terrible mistake in the 11th minute of play.
Fearing the opposing pressure, the 23-year-old defender opted for a strong back pass to her goalkeeper. Bad idea, since the ball spun out of reach of her teammate, which allowed the Japanese to equalize.

One could think of a lack of benchmarks between the two players, who were curiously holders when neither had played a single minute during the first three meetings of the competition. But Codina and her goalkeeper Catalina Coll know each other well, since they play together at FC Barcelona.
Fortunately, this dumpling will remain without major consequence since Spain won 5-1, with even a goal from Codina just before the break, to be forgiven. His guardian, too, has decided to give up. “After the goal, I wanted to kill Codina, had fun Catalina Coll on RTVE, but then it turned out to be a great story. »
