Spain earned its first trip to a Women's World Cup final after a late-game back-and-forth scoring spree with Sweden. Three goals were scored between the 81st and 89th minutes as Spain came out with the 2-1 win.

Salma Paralluelo, the 19-year-old winger who scored the extra-time winner for Spain in its quarterfinal clash with the Netherlands, kicked things off in the 81st minute. She capitalized on a deflected pass in front of the goal and tapped in Spain's first score of the game. Paralluelo squeezed her shot between two Swedish defenders to put Spain in front with less than 10 minutes remaining in the contest.

Sweden didn't relent after it gave up the late goal. Seven minutes later, Swedish striker Rebecka Blomqvist notched her third goal of the World Cup to even the match.
