BERLIN - Attacking midfielder Aitana Bonmati from champions Spain was named best player of the women's World Cup and team-mate Salma Paralluelo best young player of the tournament after Sunday's final, reported dpa news agency.

Bonmati from Champions League winners Barcelona got the Golden Ball award after Spain's 1-0 victory over England in the Sydney final.

The 19-year-old Paralluelo, also from Barcelona, got her award for a breakthrough event in which she scored two goals, the extra-time 2-1 quarter-final winner over the Netherlands, and in the 2-1 semi-final win against Sweden.

England's Mary Earps won the Golden Glove for best goalkeeper of the month-long tournament in Australia and New Zealand. The Manchester United keeper saved a penalty from Jenni Hermoso in the final where she was at her best again.

The Golden Boot award for tournament top scorer went to Japan's Hinata Miyazawa who scored five goals before a quarter-final exit. - BERNAMA-dpa
