It was a very tough match as Olga Carmona scored the match's only goal after 29 minutes of play. Despite many attempts by the England team to equalise, the Spanish team came out tops.

When the team received their medals from Rubiales, the president suddenly grabbed Hermoso and kissed her. The moment was caught on camera, sparking outrage.

Hermoso expressed in a later live stream that she did not enjoy the kiss but later changed her tone and said that the kiss was a mutual gesture.

She was quoted as saying that she has a great relationship with Rubiales and asserted that his kiss was him showing gratitude and affection.

@Ernestchima1 said:

“It seems like the Spanish FA president missed the personal space and consent memo. Maybe next time, he should stick to handing out trophies instead of unwanted kisses. Jenni’s skills are on the field, not in dodging unsolicited advances!”

@robert_mynett remarked:

“Serious assault. Should be taken to court.”

@PizzaRip added:

“He needs to go, especially after all of the players vs FA issues the last few years. They have the leverage now to force changes.”

@justchrisxcv asked:

“Light sexual assault on live television? And nothing’s done? Shame.”

@ohosman66 remarked:

“This was not good. So cringe and awkward. He is an opportunist taking advantage of the lady’s moment of success and joy.”
