Zambia win a corner but they play it short and make a bit of a mess of it.

You are always going to want to try and finish that anyway, especially with the scenes we've seen from VAR in the past. But it just goes to show the Zambia defenders aren't checking their shoulders. Fortunately the line was high enough to play Hermoso offside.

A late flag denies Spain a third, although Jenni Hermoso was clearly offside when she got the ball on the edge of the box before slotting home.

So clear VAR don't really delay Zambia's free-kick to restart play.

Zambia make a double change. Mary Wilombe and Avell Chitundu replace Susan Banda, who was injured earlier, and Siomala Mapepa. That one might be tactical.

Zambia's Martha Tembo needs some treatment now. They're getting some subs ready.

You're almost willing Zambia to have a good delivery, to have a good final product into the area!

Some good Zambia passing but then a final ball into the box lets them down.

Here is Spain's opening goal. Boom.

The crowd are really roaring every time Zambia begin to look threatening, which they have a little more as the game has gone on.

Clearly the fans here in Auckland don’t want to see another thrashing.

Zambia midfielder Susan Banda is down again. Is her day done?

Almost a third for Spain. Jenni Hermoso chests a cross into the path of Aitana Bonmati, who drags a shot just wide of the bottom corner.

I think Barbara Banda is starting to understand where the space is going to come for the Zambian side.

In terms of [her team-mates] joining in as well, they are starting to see where Spain could potentially be caught out.

Good run by Racheal Kundananji and Zambia striker Barbra Banda spins a defender but then shoots off target.

Teresa Abelleira's opener, after eight minutes and 42 seconds, was the earliest in the 2023 Women's World Cup so far.

Good skill from Zambia star Barbra Banda but then she's hurt as a Spain clearance smashes into her face. She's fine though.

Zambia are struggling to get out. Even when they get the ball, Spain just press them and win it back.

There are more bare patches and empty seats in the stadium than we've seen for the other three matches held here so far.

It's been a little quiet too... until that stunner from Teresa Abelleira.
