Spain quickly pulled together, and Aitana Bonmati, the winner of the Ballon d'Or, had them tied in less than ten minutes.
In the second half, Japan played solid defense and offered little offensive danger while Spain controlled the ball and had numerous opportunities.

But in the 74th minute of the Group C opening, Bonmati produced a beautiful one-two with Mariona Caldentey to score the winning goal.
Later today in Bordeaux, the Super Falcons and Brazil will square off in the second Group C game.
As a result, Bonmati became the first Spanish woman to score an Olympic goal.
