Spain beat Sweden to reach final

Auckland: Olga Carmona's stunning late strike gave Spain a 2-1 win over Sweden on Tuesday to propel them into the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 final for the first time in their history.

Spain's thrilling victory at Eden Park sets up a showdown in Sydney on Sunday with either Australia or England, who meet in the other semi-final on Wednesday.
 
The semi-final in Auckland seemed to be drifting towards extra time before suddenly bursting to life when substitute Salma Paralluelo put Spain ahead with nine minutes left.
 
Rebecka Blomqvist equalised for Sweden in the 88th minute only for full-back Carmona, Spain's captain, to score with a superb shot in off the underside of the crossbar from the edge of the box.
