Olga Carmona decided the soccer world championship with her goal. PDO
Olga Carmona will forever remain in the history of Spanish football.
The Andalusian pack decided with his goal for the women of La Roja their first world championship at Sydney’s Olympic Stadium.
After the final whistle, Carmona celebrated on the field with his mother and Tomás-with his twin brother, until he heard the terrible news about his home country.
The player’s father had died just before the start of the World Cup final. However, the mother did not want to tell her daughter, lest her big match be disturbed by it.
Carmona drew attention when he aired his hit by holding up the name “Merchi” from under his shirt. With that, he wanted to honor his friend’s deceased mother.
The Spanish Futsal Federation sent their condolences on social media.
