Spain Women will be looking to book their first-ever appearance at the Women's World Cup when they face Sweden Women in Tuesday's semi-final matchup.
Jorge Vilda's La Roja overcame Netherlands in their quarter-final game as Salma Paralluelo was at hand to score the 111th-minute winner. The Dutch had taken the game to extra time as Mariona Caldentey's opener was canceled by an injury-time goal by Stefanie Van der Gragt.
Having to rely on penalties to get past the USWNT in the round of 16, Peter Gerhardsson's side took a two-goal lead through Amanda Ilestedt and Filippa Angeldahl against Japan to eventually win the quarter-final tie 2-1 as Honoka Hayashi pulled one back for the Asian giants before time.
A first appearance in the last-four stage at a major competitions for Spain since the 1997 Women's European Championship, while this will be Sweden's fifth semi-final appearance at the World Cup and third in the last four editions. The Blue and Yellow finished third every time they made it this far, apart from a runners-up finish in 2003.
