Women's World Cup, the first semi-final is known

Spain and Sweden will face off for a place in the World Cup final on Tuesday.

Spain qualified for the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup for the first time. Impressive against Switzerland (6-1) in the round of 16, La Roja this time struggled to eliminate the Netherlands (2-1 aet) in the quarter-finals.

Mariona Caldentey thought she had done the hardest part by opening the scoring (81st sp), but Stephanie van der Gragt equalized at the start of added time (90th +1). During extra time, it was the young Barcelonan Salma Paralluelo (19) who gave the victory to her team (111th).

Spain will face Sweden, who confirmed their victory against the United States by eliminating Japan (2-1), thanks to goals from Amanda Ilestedt (32nd) and Filippa Angeldal (51st sp), against a realization of ‘Honoka Hayashi at the end of the game (87th).
