An unforgettable goal grants Salma the MVP of the match

The 32,021 spectators gathered in the stands of the Regional Stadium in Wellington experienced a déjà vu, that phenomenon that describes the sensation that what their eyes are witnessing has already been lived through.

Almost a year, just a few days short, Salma Paraluello donned the hero's attire to lead the Spanish Women's U-20 National Team to the title of World Champion in Costa Rica. Those of us who followed that tournament could already foresee an incredibly dazzling future for this athlete.

Today, on the other side of the world, Salma seized a ball as the extra time was dwindling to propel Spain to unprecedented heights, all the way to the semifinals of a senior World Cup.

This performance truly deserves to be designated as the best player of the match, don't you think?

CONGRATULATIONS, SALMA!!
