Victory meant two-time champions Spain booked their place in the knockout stage with a match to spare.
Each of their front three combined for the opener, with Anna Quer bursting through the middle and setting up Celia Gomez down the right, who slid across for Carlota Chacon to tap home in the 26th minute.
Quer herself was on the scoresheet 10 minutes later, racing on to Claudia Barrios' clipped pass and firing in from a tight angle.

Silvia Cristobal rounded out the scoring late on, with the captain on hand to steer home a corner.
